You can also use Xeon Quad processors on this MB with a socket 771 converter sticker and socket 'trimming'. I just used a Xeon X5450 (although E5450 would have been much better because of less heat production) and worked a treat. Much cheaper than similar quad core (e.g. Q9650) but a very obvious improvement in PC speed. Well worth considering.
