Dr. Hurt Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I was wondering if the ASUS P5LD2-VM (945 chipset) has good support. Asus website say that it supports core 2 but intel recommend 965 chipset for memory management reasons. Also, will the P5LD2-VM allow good overclocking with a max fsb of 1066.
