Re: [H] Asus m/b and CPU
Email surfing the web no longer equate to the statement needs little horsepower because some surf for multimedia, flash, or java content that certainly needs more horsepower than basic surfing. I do not agree that AMD solutions save customers money in the long run, nor do I think skipping core duo makes sense. Many customers use their machines well past their optimum service life and benefit from font-loading better-than-currently-needed hardware not to mention a bit longevity due to CPU upgradability when prices drop. Yes, I am aware the I7 is yet another socket but there are going to be E, Q, QX chips dropping in price same as DDR2 has plummeted as DDR3 hits. For AMD to get better, people need to stop investing in their products. For Intel to get better, AMD needs to get better because unchallenged Intel will not aggressively innovate because they don't need to. Loosing sales to AMD only shows Intel that they need only maintain the status quo and lower prices. AMD is in such a pickle for more than lagging Intel, they have made some really bad business decision and no amount of championing them is going to fix it, they have to decide to change themselves. Clearly many of you think AMD is a good choice either to support the underdog or because you see price/performance of AMD meeting an imaginary low speed target that makes value systems worth it. I think in time that will prove to be misguided and will continue to say you are doing customers a dis-service. Thane Sherrington wrote: At 12:02 PM 10/11/2008, W.

LOL, I can see that argument going nowhere in the reverse situation! You reward the company doing the right thing, not support the inferior for fear they'd disappear otherwise. W.

[H] Asus m/b and CPU
Hi folks, I recently bought an Asus P5N32-E SLI mother board and have a dual core Intel 2.66Ghz 805 SL8ZH. Does anyone know if these two are compatible? The m/b handles a very wide range of processors, including dual core. I have no way to set it up yet as it is going to be a major upgrade to my ancient Athlon system and other stuff is enroute. Right now I really can't afford to upgrade that processor so this is why I am asking the question before I tear the old system apart. I have never been faced with this question building a new box. I bought this stuff off craigslist in reverse sequence, CPU first. You have to get them when they popup. Operation is not an issue here, they all work very well. I have been unable to Google a site that shows compatibility, so I figured some of my tech buddies may be able to help. Thanks, Jeff

Re: [H] Asus m/b and CPU(SOLVED)
Thanks to all who responded. I just discovered the thing I really had missed in the User's Manual. At 73 you do miss a few things, trust me. One little tiny thing on the end of the chip nomenclature is the alpha 05A. This board is compatible with 06/05B/05A processors. It is Nvidia 680i SLI. Thanks for your help.
