INTEL DG33FB support

[lavsuman]

Hi all,

today i purchased a mobo Intel® Desktop Board DG33FB, i was told that this mobo supports P4 2.66 ghz socket 775 processor, could any body tell me if it really supports coz in INTEL site

http://www.intel.com/cd/channe.../dg33fb/tech/index.htm

i didnt find any mention of this board supporting P4 processors.

I don't see it here. Maybe the person who told you that confused a Pentium D (Netburst) with a Pentium Dual-Core (Core 2)?

a lot of other brand 3 series chipset boards support it.

but i think intel brand, they did not design the VRM to support non core 2 based CPUs.

i have a dg31pr and i know it only supports the E2000 / e4000 / e6000 etc and the celeron 4xx and e1000 series. i doubt it supports the p4 or pentium D or any netburst chips

If it supports the C2D, then why would you want to put a P4 into it anyways...?

i'd assume he already had a p4 2.66 cpu, and would just want to get a board that would let him upgrade later.
