The compatible processor lists for D945GCNL and the D945Psn are listed as compatible with FSB800 processors. These motherboards have almost identical specifications and I have a D945Psn which I want to use with ViiV tecnology. Both motherbords have FSB1066 and the compatible processor lists list only FSB800 processors.Hope my wirting is understandable.Referring to the post below and other posts show people are using Dual Core and E4700 processors with these boards.These Dual Core or are they Core Duo processors are cheaper than the big Intel 960 ViiV compatible processors so I am very interested to find out more about the newer processors compatibilty with the D945Psn motherboard. /message/71183# 71183 5.

Hi

I just upgraded my processor on this mottherboard. Now I got an E4700(2,6Ghz) processer and it runs great. Normal use runs smooth and my gaming performans have increased dramatically.

Best regard Peter

I thought because the D945GCNL and the D945PSN both had the a 945 chipset and both had an FSB1066 and one of them was compatible with a Core Duo processor then surely the other would be compatible but it seems my guessing is wrong.

I found different compatible processors available for both the two motherboards.

...so there is no need for a follow up on this question, thank you.

EDITED: I did not look long enough before I posted.

I found here http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/945p/945p-overview.htm http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/945p/945p-overview.htm the D945PSN motherboard ahs a 945P chipset and so is compatible with some Intel® Core™2 Duo processors.

Am I wrong about this?

Going by the poster in the link in my first post I may be correct.

Did you ever try an Intel® Core™ processor on that motherboard?
