I have a question?

That procesor Pentium Dual Core E5400(R0) Wolfdale 2.70GHz 800MHz 2MB is compatible with one of that mobo's ?

ASRock > Products > 4CoreDual-VSTA
ASRock > Products > 4CoreDual-SATA2

Because i want to upgrade my pc, and i want to buy a mobo from they list, and with mobo i want to buy a cpu (E5400) Thank's

Or if you know tell me on mobos what procesor work's! Thank's!



And final question, the Sapphire HD 3650 Agp x8, DDR2, 512MB, 128-bit work's on thats mobos?
Sorry for my english! :heink:

The 4CoreDual-SATA2 should be able to support the E5400. As long as you update to the latest BIOS you should be good. (2.00 and up). The CPU support list for this board is HERE and if you scroll down to the bottom you will see it supports the E5200, which is not far from the E5400 (Both are Wolfdale cpu's). Plus it has the same FSB (800Mhz) and same cache size (2MB). I say it should work.

Not sure about the 4CoreDual-VSTA, but it might not support it. Here's the CPU support list for this one too. Highest Dual-core it shows it supports is the E2220. This is Conroe CPU, not a wolfdale like the E5400. You might be better off with the other board.

But you can use any CPU's on the CPU Support List for any board (respectively).

Oh forgot about the shappire. Well, in theory it looks like it can work. It doesn't show up on the VGA supported list for either one though =P:
VGA VSTA list
VGA SATA2 list


btw, what do you need this for? what's your budget limit? Maybe you can build a newer system for cheaper =). And by cheaper i mean not so expensive with all the new features of the new cpu's and boards x3 (unless you plan to wait for the sandy bridge cpu's lol).

I found 4CoreDual-VSTA with this BIOS [ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA 2.39a BIOS]. I see on that site support E6300 Pentium, and i think support and E5400, but i think i buy E6600-E6700 (Core2Duo) becuase i have make some money!

Lol, money is always sweet! xD. And those should work on both boards, just make sure you're BIOS is up to date =).
