Only recently someone told me that there are both Revision A and Revision B (Rev) motherboards and processors.

You can not mix A with B and not expect compatability problems, according to the person whom I spoke with. Is this true? If so, why is this? And what are the consequences?

What if I BUY components online? How can I verify that I do not mix revisions?

maybe this can help..


its from 99 so I'm not sure but it might give a idea.I think you have to select the mobo then go with the manufacturers specs for selecting the processor (or maybe vice versa). Here is an Intel BLURB for one of its mobos.



Thanks, I'll have a read when I'm at work.Tell us something that only the real Raptor would know.You've been adopted.

How's that for starters?

None of these documents you linked me to quite answer my question; does anyone have any other ideas?I have other ideas. :-?Shoot.

Why do all my topics end up being spammed and I never get a decent answer? Are you people doing that on purpose?No. From what i've read there are Rev. A and B MBoards but not CPU's themselves...

Drivers therefore become the issue as you can only use the proper ones without trouble...

Let me dig out my LINX and info on this.
