    I doubt you will as this is the Quad core variant, P7808u. Your best bet is almost any P79 board as they have all been shown to accept Quad core CPU's.

    They are getting expensive though;

    Edit
    Found a deal;

    Edit 2; The sound card drivers are different, do not know if this matters to your software. Also 2 other issues;

    1.) the upper rear USB port is known to have issues supplying full power. If you have a high demand HDD for that port it can be an issue.
    2.) P79's are well known to have issue with USB high sample rates. If you use such hardware, like Razor Gaming Mice, this can be of issue as well....

    Thank you for the link TANWare, I ordered the motherboard last night for my 7805u system. Overtime the system consistently gave me the black screens to a point that it was unable to play games.
