    I'm just asking if this is possible? So those Chips with 800fsb can only work with 965 intel chip?


    What are those ES version? I heard it's overclockable, but are they stable at no overclocking and still working fine?

    No, the new T7100/7300/7500/7700 CPUs use Socket P, while the older T5500/7200/7400/7600 CPUs use Socket M. In addition to the FSB speed increase, the sockets are not pin-compatible.

    ES is what reviewers and press people usually get, so the manufacturer usually tries to put in a better unit. It is usually a clock-unlocked processor.

    Usually not worth the $$$ if someone is eBaying it.

    As jetto said, Santa Rosa uses the 965 chipset, which is a Socket P, versus the older 945 chipset, which was Socket M. So no, as far as I know, you can't put Santa Rosa chips into a Socket M system.
