I need a replacement motherboard because I am clumsy. :(
My CPU is a Xeon X3480. The Asus P7P55D-E shows support for the I7 880, but does not specifically list the X3480.

Is it safe to assume that the Xeon is also supported, or is there a physical difference that will possibly be unsupported?


Thanks in advance!

Well, I guess I am going to find out. I did as much research as I could, and it appears that they are essentially the same chip, but the Xeon supports up to 32 GB RAM vs 16 GB for the I7 880.

It will be here Tuesday, so I'll follow up after I get it assembled.

Thanks!
