However it *does* work. I've just spoken to a guy with the same board and the same CPUs as me, he uses WinXP and it detects and uses both his CPUs (I even had him look at the CPU graphs while running a few MP3 encodings in parallel). The board (BIOS) complains during boot, though. So.. Perhaps MSI doesn't support it, though I don't give a rats ass about what they support or don't support - it's all politics anyway. And again - it's the exact same chipset as on the Asus board, and that one has no gripes with these CPUs. They are un-modded obviously. So.. Here's hoping ;) /Eirik David Lodeiro wrote: > Hi, > > I have this same motherboard, and it doesnt actually support anything but > dual MP processors.
