Nehalem in LGA775?

In case of Nehalem, there is a pretty good chance that it will work with P35 and X38 generation of motherboards - once that desktop version gets its shape.

It is the INQ so take it with a grain of salt but if this is true then WOOT!

Doesnt Nehalem have a IMC ? if so i dont see how we wont need a new MB .

From what I understand there will be two versions one with and one without IMC. So if this is indeed true it would most definitely be the non-IMC chip.

and the $$$$ question would be... will they both perform the same?

I vote no

I can't find anything that says Nehalem won't have the new quickpath interconnect.

I was pretty darn sure nehalem used the future 1366pin skt.

Why would I want without the IMC ? I have been waiting for Intel to fnially make a cpu with it.

Maybe there will be a way to disable the memory controller in the motherboard chipset? And the IMC in the Nehalem CPU will take over?

Technically, can the above be done with just a BIOS update?

Kuroimaho · Sep 20, 2007

I doubt the NB was designed that way.

I remember reading that there were two new sockets for Nehalem. The assumption at the time was that the lower pin count one was for a non-IMC version. If they can make that run on *current* LGA775 boards though

that would make 775 a really long-running platform. No idea about new VRM standards but since those boards can run 45nm Penryns there may not be a newer one for Nehalem.

Just a n00b here, but the P965 chipset was only designed to run processors with a max FSB of 1066, but now Asus has come out with a bios update for the P5B's that allows these Mobos to run 1333 processors. So disabling IMC in a chipset couldn't be possible?
