Why? Because Intel didn't design it to run those CPUs.

but a guy using quad core extreme with same mobo he said that on hardfourm read this below

have the DP35DP board now and a QX6800 (retail boxed) CPU.
My plans are to replace my current system with this set up.
My current system is an Asus A8N32 SLI deluxe mobo with an AMD64 X2 4800 cpu.

My hope is that this new Intel system will be notably faster than my current AMD system.
My question to you guys is this:

Generally speaking, Intel boards aren't designed for overclocking. It even says that in the hardforum thread that you referred to:

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread...

Why would you want a board that doesn't have a tweakable BIOS? You'd be better off getting a P35 based board made by Asus, DFI, Gigabyte, or some other manufacturer that supports overclocking, memory tweaks, etc. Tom's Hardware just did a review a few days ago, but these boards are EXPENSIVE:

How about this Gigabyte board for about $100?

OK, so you already have that Intel board but no CPU?

Do you realize that a "QX6800 (retail boxed) CPU" sells for over $1000?? The Q6700 (2.66GHz) goes for $540. The Q6600 (2.4GHz) is only $280. Why pay an extra $260 for a mere 266MHz increase in clock speed?

If you were to bump the CPU freq from 266 to 296Mhz, the Q6600 would be running at the same speed as the Q6700. And if all other things are equal, it *should* actually perform better due to the FSB increase to 1184Mhz.

Oh yeah...you don't overclock.
