Motherboard Supported CPUS?

[LXIX]

I have an Abit AW8D motherboard and on the specs it reads this

# Supported Processors:
# Designed for Intel Pentium 4 LGA775 processors with 1066/800 MHz FSB
# Support Intel Pentium Processor Extreme Edition & Intel Pentium D Processor
# Supports Intel Hyper-Threading / XD-bit / EM64T Technology
# Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology

and looking elsewhere i see that it says under supported processors it only has P4 and Pentium D.


Does this mean I can only use those 2 types of cpus in this motherboard, ie. I can't put an intel core 2 duo in it?

it doesn't look like you can put a core2duo in it but you can get a pentium D which is dual core

i think some p4's might be as well but i might be making that up so don't hold me to it

AW9D? I can't find an 8 listed???

This it what it supports:http://www.abit.com.tw/cpu-support-list/mb/intel_975x_aw8d.htm
