OK....probably missed this in the thousands of posts, and if I did, sorry for repeating this question.
This board, the D975XBX2, and the workstation version of the same board, the S975XBX2, seem to be exactly the same sans the fancy MOSFET heatsinks and one fan header that the "D", or desktop, version has that the "S", or workstation/server version doesn't have.
The question is......has anyone successfully run the Xeon X3210 processor on the BX2? I'd gladly sacrifice 260MHz in initial processor speed.....the difference between the X3210 (2.14GHz) and the Q6600 (2.4GHz), for a savings of $30-$40. And since the Xeon is compatible with the "S" version of the board, and since both boards use the same BIOS updates and drivers, I'd think the Xeon would run without issues on our desktop "D" BX2 boards.
