    Found out a weird little problem, flash A05 again, even though A05 came installed on the board. Everything is working fine now :S

    Sockets are, yes. Given a supporting BIOS, you can actually drop an Arrandale into one of the (current) i7 motherboards with no problem at all; the issue will be whether or not that motherboard has the necessary addons to support the IGP (if it doesn't, all you get is the dual-core processor).


    I dono if this is accurate but it could be the motherboard
