P4 Server Boards

[Jrock21]

I am building a server for work and I want to put dual p4 processors and I am not sure if the board I have ordered is going to work or not. Has anyone tried to use a Supermicor P4DPL-iGM Intel E7500 Dual Xeon DDR E-ATX Server Board. Can I use the P4 and PC3200 Memory or am I gonna have to find a new board.

you can't put a pentium4 into a xeon board...you need to buy a xeon cpu.

[edit] also check your memory...high-end server boards typically use registered memory.

ps. there is no such thing as a dual p4 motherboard...the p4 does not support SMP.
