Pentium D on i925x/i925xe, anyone tried already?

[death metal]

Just wondering if anyone tried already and if they worked =)....I don't have dough to buy a new board, I just have enough to get me a Pentium D 820/830 =)....

Please share your experiece guys...I am currently using Abit AA8XE non-Fatal!ty board...

Well , Abit does not support Pentium D officially in this board , but the 6xx series are supported and in my opinion they are the best Intel chips ( unless you are a heavy multi task user ) . They overclock like hell ( 4ghz on on a good air cooler or near 4.5Ghz on water is possible ) .

I have a Pentium 4 630 and 640 used only for OCing =) http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=10134 but I'd like to build a P-D for some PCMark2004/2005 benching =)...

Intel 925xe chipset does not support dual cores

The 955x does , as you can see in the chart

BTW , nice clocks on the 6xx ;)

I know that i925xe isn't officially supporting P-D, but it's like when original Prescott was released, I read early report that then-current i865/i875 will not be compatible. Well, it's partially true, some isn't really capable and some are. Same for when first 6xx series CPU were originally released, Intel only shows i915/i925 chipsets support these CPUs, turned out, even i865/i875 supported it as well.

So I'm just hoping that i925xe will be just the same as that hehehe =).....

Thanks, the OC was done on air =)...benchmark stable ;)...
