Ok quick question hopefully someone might answer.

Searched all over google and found no answers!

Basically I have an Asrock conroexfire esata2 mobo which supports the 945 chipset and LGA775 proccessor types. On ASrock website it has most core 2 processors listed as compatible except quad... I don't see why it shouldnt support quad core when it's the 945 chipset and can support LGA775, both which the core 2 quad supports.

I just want someone to tell me a few details before I go and splash out on a quad core CPU.

Basically the chipset does not support Quad Cores... Details you can read at these links :-

You're better off getting a new board for it... biggrin.gif LOL
