Core 2s work with all socket LGA 775 mobos?

[Nizerifin]

I've got a asus p5n32-sli mobo, which is LGA 775, but I wasn't sure if this ensures compatibility with the core 2s. Enlighten me, please.

@subject: hell no.

For intel chipsets, only 965X and 975X will support Core 2.

@body: yep, should.

OP doesn't say that he has the SE (which I believe is the latest variant supporting Core 2) - afaik the older, plain P5N32 SLI doesn't support Core 2.

Wrong! There have been motherboards available for Conroe that use the 865 and 945 chipset families since it was introduced.
