Official 865PE Support For Dual Core. DFI Mobo LGA

[Nasgul]

it seems that for those whom own this motherboard and are not willing to spend on a new mobo [$200+] (and ditching AGP for PCI-Ex16 just yet) but want the power of dual core I guess this is "Great News".


DFI 865PE-TAG Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 865PE ATX Intel Motherboard $79 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136156)

The DFI 865PE-Tag can not support dual core:


Dear Customer

Thanks for your letter again. Intel dual core CPU just only works on based 945 or 955 chipsets motherboards. Other chipsets do not support dual core CPU, including 865 chipset. The statement is a mistake, we will remove it immediately.

Sincerely Yours truly,

Hello,



Thanks for your rapid answer, however I don’t understand that motherboard can not support this cpu because in the web page of you dfi site, this motherboard is compatible.

Dear Customer

Thanks for your letter of June 29 regarding to CPU problem. Due to the chipset limitation, this board can not support dual core CPU. Intel dual core CPU is supposed to be used on 945 or 955 based boards.

Hello,


The 865Pe-tag is really compatible with P4 D 840 extreme edition Dual core?



With other cpu dual core P4D.

Yep, they sure did change the BIOS webpage. I took a screen shot just in case this kind of crap would happen and it did.
One of the reasons why I'd never consider a DFI board, they showed me horrible service when I needed tech support for my 915P-TAG and now this. BTW, that DFI board was returned to newegg for a different brand.
Well, viva la ASUS and ABIT.

[SDF37]

What to believe? Does DFI lie?

The 865PE-tag is really compatible with p4 D??

[Nasgul]

If you ask, then yes! They lie!!!

I never considered a DFI for my builds and I don't think I'll ever will, not just base on this incident. For future builds I'm only going ABIT or ASUS.....till GIGABYTE changes that ugly blue PCB board to BLACK, I may consider one. Hmmm....that's about it, ABIT n ASUS.

[K.I.T.T.]

Abit all the way!! :)

[fordf250]

I wonder how many people bought DFI865pe,s thinking they could run dual core?

[Botijo]

IS POSIBLE !!!!!!!
ASROCK has a similar product, Pentium D on 865pe. Pity that they haven't update their English page yet, but the Chinese page is here:

Hey, what can you say about this mobo? I need up to 4v on ram so Can I set it in bios or can I do volt mod. What about max FSB? Vdroop? I have TCCD/CH6 - can I set a lot of different timings?(sory for my english) Where I can read about this mobo(reviews) except official site?

[K.I.T.T.]

Woah....you just resurrected a 1 year old thread!! :stick:

:p:

[Drager2]

K.I.T.T. I know...

So anyone can help?
Cant find anything in google...

[i found nemo]

well, it DOES support dual core, cuz there's a review on newegg where a guy says that he's got a pentium d 805 running on it ... so wtf?
