Pentium 651 in Shuttle SB81P

[dp004i]

Just wondering, is the above model (Intel 915 chipset) compatible with Intel's latest single-core chips (pentium 651 in particular,) or am I stuck with older Prescotts? Also, does the 350 watt PSU have enough juice to run a Radeon X1800?

Nope, 915 chipset doesn't support any of the 65nm chips. Stuck with Prescotts I'm afraid. Be sure to get a 6xx series prescott though, a 5xx doesn't stand a chance of keeping cool in a SFF case.

Are you 100% sure? I saw some online stores offering that processor as an option with the sb81p, but it didn't make much sense to me either...

Here is the list of supported CPU's. Doesn't list any of the 65nm chips..
