It should be mentioned on the board itself.. Check the board carefully.. Alternatively, you can download CPU-Z and run it to get detailed info about your board and other components..

Ha! I just observed the mobo itself it has in small writing Rev 2.00 but the zeros are funny looking zeros. Whats up with that?

Anyway I believe the e7500 is compatible!

Hi, quick question.

Struggling to figure whether the e8400 will be compatible with my asus mobo.

I have a feeling its not, can someone explain why?

Thanks


why not just get p5kpl-am or gd41ty board? that p5vdc-mx is based on via p4m900 chipset which is aged and not support many modern hardware like pcie 2.0, 65, 45nm processor and other device. and e8400 is 1333fsb while it support 800mhz which your e8400 will be hugely bottleneck if installed(but i doubt it will ever runs on that board.) so get other board if you want to buy it or sell it if you had one. it's old and not compatible.
