I've remembered something I wanted to tell earlier. It has already been said many times in this thread, but it's best to repeat once more: there are motherboards that can't be tricked into booting CPUs at different straps from the original ones. Gigabyte boards, for one, are a good example: they simply won't work with modded CPUs.
__Miguel_ can you give us some examples of boards that will run with a modded CPU? Which µATX board would you recommend for this mod?

Thx
