GA-965P-DS3 ver 1.3 compatibillity

[jedimasterben]

Ok, I've been searching and searching and searching for more information about this, but I've come up pretty dry.

I have a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Revision 1.3 (the box said 2.0, but it lied).

I was wanting to buy a quad core Xeon X3210. These are G0 revision chips, so they overclock like crazy.

Gigabyte's site changes pretty much daily, and I can no longer access the CPU compatibility for my board's revision, so I really don't know if it is compatible.

Has anyone else tried this combination, or at least know of someone that has?

Please and thank you.

Kentsfield Xeon's dont require ECC registered RAM.
The DS3 supports 1066 and 1333mhz FSB...

I'd say your pretty much good to go.
