775 cpu's and 771 motherboards ?

[Soulkeeper]

i have two e4300 cpu's and was wondering if i could get a dual socket board like This one

are they physically incompatible ? or is it like the old Athlon/Athlon MP situation ?


thanks

physical imcompatible, 775 holes on the cpu vs 771 pins on the motherboard.

do you know from experience ?
any sources to confirm this ?

No.

if you were to physically look at the pin-outs from Intel,
1) they are physically a different arrangement
2) they physically have different number of pads to pins

so no. you'll waste money and bend the pins on the motherboard.

shouldn't bend the pins but, sure will short out and I'd wager a light/smoke show.
