Compatible with all FSB1333/1066/800/533MHz CPUs except Quad Core

Here's the system I've built over the past few weeks. Works great:

Motherboard
ASUS P5K DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX

ProcessorIntel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA
775 Processor

MemoryCrucial 2GB kit (1GBx2), Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500

Video Card
SAPPHIRE 100210L Radeon HD 2600XT 256MB 128-bit GDDR4 PCI Express x16

Power Supply
PC Power and Cooling ULTRA-QUIET PSU: SILENCER® 610 EPS12V

All the rest of the components are leftovers, including four 500
gigabyte hard drives -- three Western Digital and one Maxtor.

According to this, with BIOS 204 or later, even the Core 2 Extreme QX6850
(1333 MHz FSB) is supported.

Hi jeff, I'm sorry to message you like this. But I've got exactly the
same problem as you describe in this post:
