sbeehre Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have the original 975XBX intel board and want to upgrade to something that supports quad core i like this board because i only have 3 kexts in the DFE Extra folder on my hard drive and everything works perfectly! if i get the new XBX2 aka BadAxe2 will i have to change my setup at all or are the boards fairly similar chipset wise?

Synaesthesia Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Yeah, the 975XBX2 is just as compatible. However, with Boot-132 you can get yourself a modern P-45 motherboard instead, to support the latest 45nm Quads with overclocking... And updates work perfectly...
