What are the risks or chances of a E7500 working on a Foxconn 945G7AD? It's not on the compatibility list at the FoxConn site. Most of the older Intel proccessors have disappeared around here and almost none of them come close to 3Ghz. I need the speed to play 1080P videos. Yes I know about vid card acceleration but my player of choice, VLC, doesn't utilize those extra's yet.
Anyway, the E7500 is meant to work with a 1066mhz bus which the 945G7AD supports.
So is it suicide? Will I burn up the chip trying? Or maybe even though it isn't officially supported it will run nevertheless?
I also checked on an updated bios but there doesn't seem to be any.
Anybody care to weigh in? The E7500 goes for around $110 in these parts.
Thanks.
