Xeon LGA Socket 775

[Kishisaki]

Hello Everyone

I would like to know if any Xeon LGA Socket 775 Processor can run on any regular motherboard like the P965 or the nForce 680i? like the configuration below.

I talked to Asus already about using the Intel X3220 Xeon Quad Cores. They only recommend their
P5M series boards for the Xeon Processor. You'd think that a regular Quad core board would do but
no nope! So, if you want to go to Xeon you'll be stuck with those boards which aren't cheap about $320.

P5M? Did Asus say why, or if in fact the 3200 series Xeons will not work on say, a 680i chipset board? After all the 3200 series Xeons are merely high binned Kentsfields, nothing special.
