Xeon E56** and motherboard

Hello

I'd like to know if the upcoming Xeon32nm DP E56 ** will compatbile with a motherboard "classic" (R2E, R3E, etc ...) and if there will be no problem

and also, this is a Xeon s'OC as I7 920 for example?

thank you ;)

With BIOS update, yes.

Not much info yet, but my X5667 does 4.6 with HT on for 24/7 with 1.376 load. Not sure what I'm comfortable using in terms of voltage for 24/7 Folding@Home.

This link gives some info

Depends on the particular motherboard and BIOS updates available. They will be, sooner or later; some motherboard already support those.

thank you for your answers ;)

I had seen on other boards that it was laborious to OC a Xeon and I fail at the same with a i7 "classical" and on motherboard mono-socket the 2nd bus QPI may make errors and some options in bios are not present

For example, with a Xeon E5640 and R2E (or R3E) if the bios allows, I might OC to 4.2GHz without problems?

thank you very much ;)
