The motherboard is like mine a plain asus p7h55 (without m or any letter behind)
if like can seen in the vid the x3440 works, should i suposse that the x3470 will work too?
or better go with x3440?? doesnt look that there ir a big difference in performance between theys

He's got a Xeon processor in the video, your board does not support a Xeon of any form to the best of my knowledge. See it here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P7H55/HelpDesk_CPU/

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I know it doesn't show up on the listed supported processors but perhaps that list was generated before that particular Xeon range had become available.

In my experience, mobo manufacturers are pretty up to up on their CPU support. I wouldn't do it. Honestly now is the time to upgrade if you can, that setup is dated.

But jgbathlon_guy , he is also using a P7h55 motherboard, didnt you realize? when he turns on the computer in second 4 you can see the motherboard. The funny of all this is that poeple with the same motherboard, for some works and to others does not work.Thats my fear, maybe better get the x3440 , is only 18€

Well, for 18 Euros, you can't complain if it doesn't work, and you can always resell it

I confirm that the x3440 works fine in the p7h55 mobo!!

Xeon and core have same pinouts afaik, the only real difference being in the instruction sets and available ECC memory. There is some the Core have that Xeons don't, and vice versa. For most home user pc's especially gaming, the instructions in the Core are better suited, for workplace/visual affects type home users, the Xeons are better suited. But for the most part they are pretty much equitable. A x3470 is pretty much equitable to an i7 870, at 2.93GHz, the only better lga1156 would be the i7 880 at 3.07GHz. Then there's the i7 875k which has an unlocked multiplier.
And, of course, many Xeons lack integrated graphics, making a dedicated gpu a must.
