Hi, I am building a little server and I like the Shuttle SX58J3 system very much. I also like the Xeon X5650 which is probably the highest performing CPU / $ available now aside from its smaller Xeon siblings. Is this compatible? Shuttle will only confirm the i7s are compatible with the X58 mobo; and I've heard mixed things, some say it should be compatible, but no one seems to have tested and posted results. Anyone have more info?

Here is the spec page: http://us.shuttle.com/barebone/models/sx58j3.html
