    Anybody got any idea if the Q9000 can be used in the 6920?

    I'm not familiar with quads but I doubt it. Even if it fits, there won't be a BIOS support for it IMO.

    Yes BIOS Support is missing, and it will need a Socket Revision to support the QCs. The 8930's mobo went through a revision as well.

    Its a new part in the list, and QC - Quad Core.
