AJLynn Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 You mean P5S800-VM? That's an LGA775 board for MicroATX that supports Pentium 4 and probably Core 2 series CPUs but not i3/i5/i7. So a similar board won't take a new model CPU. Any MicroATX 775 board will do but AFAIK the only boards you've got a chance of finding that have more than 2 memory slots are Intel brand. They make some 4 slot boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
