Perhaps I am in the wrong forum? Apologies

I have what appears to be an Intel 915PBL motherboard
I have got this working, at least that is, its posting ok.

Q - Does this mobo support dual-core Pentium IVs?

It is posting with a SL7Z9 3.0 Ghz HT FSB 800 2MB CPU.
Whereas the official Intel CPU support page for this product
does not state dual-core is supported, is dual-core support
unofficially?

Thanks

It runs but you can be pretty sure the second core is never used.
