mobo and processor compatibility?

[ltjblalo]

will this motherboard: Intel i875P Chipset Motherboard, Model "D875PBZLK"

work with this processor? Intel Pentium 4/ 3.0E GHz 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache, Hyper Threading Technology

I ask because the motherboard is pretty cheap for what it seems to offer and the processor has a Prescott core, so I'm not sure it that'll work.

Also, can i run two hard drives on that? I'd be using a new serial ATA one and an older one.

Thanks.

yes it should work

The following board revisions (AA numbers) support that processor: C27085-207 or later
C26680-206 or later.

Earier board revisions don't work with that processor.

You would be better off getting the Northwood Core as it would be compatible with all revisions of the board. They also run cooler, and are faster at the same clock speed compared to the Prescott core.
