asus P5 LD2 wich duo core can it handle?

[vochtige]

hi folks!

a tiny question, my system is 2 years old, and i think the hardware is a half year or a year older.
june 2007 i upgraded my system with an 8600GT which replaced an 6600GT.
now, that 8600 wasn't the card it would be like i suspected, like everybody suspected.

now I've got an p5ld2 mobo, and the site sais it is core 2 duo ready, like it is pentium D ready. i'm googling like hell to know which one! it's a fsb limited to 1066 mhz...

i've got an pentium 4 630 at stock speed, and in september i flashed my bios, but couldn't flash the latest version and since then my start up is slower. i underscore cursour just keep blinking for 10 seconds and then drops one space and windows starts.

so is there enyone who has experience with this mobo, and tried ou which core 2 duo it can handle?

please help me, because i don't wan't to buy a totally new rigg.

I want this to know, because i don't know if i can handle an 3850 card!

let something hear from you guys

thanks alot!

Open up your case and check the printed writing on your mainboard. There should be a revision on the board. The site will tell you which revision can or can't if you check the "supported processors".

well , thanks for your reply
can you tell me more where to find that revision? i'm more like a newb. i've never seen something like that on my mobo

it has to be besides the cpu? or written between the pci slots or so?

http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=185&l4=0&model=515&modelmenu=1 this has to be it.

this is the board i've got. can somebody give me more info plz?

thanks

some other guy asked the same question :s

but either he gets a decent anwser i think

i only know that a E4300 1.8 ghz didn't work, and i flashed my bios so far as i could!
the latest update seemed to give an error, but i thought if the E4300 is 800fsb and socket 775 it would work, but not 🙁

help me and that other dude with this question please!

thanks

and is there someone with the knowledge of usins an E6xxx on such a board?

i doubt it, but sit tight till tomorrow and bump your question if no one else answere's by then. most people here that know what they are talking about have jobs and live's and may only post once a day.
there are some retired guys though that sit here through the day. they tend to know alot as some of them helped build the industry long ago.

Tells you what CPU's are supported at what board revision (C2D requires some hardware sensors) you need to find you board revision (as mentioned earlier). CPU-Z might be able to tell you, else you'll have to find it on the board.

I think you'll find it between the black heatsink and the memory slots.

Core 2 Duo E4600 (2.4GHz,800FSB,L2:2MB,65W,rev.M0) 2.01G 1903

i could buy it for 133 euo's, but the problem is, i tried to flash my bios, but that latest update wouldn't work. ( i tested it with 4300) and didn't work. it gave errorbeeps at startup

i think i'll stick it with my pentium 4, and wait till it dies. the E8400seems nice, and on a asus p5k it will run smoothly

thanks, you've helpt me alot!
