    Will the SP9400 fit in the MS-1651? I see some stating it's a socket P processor, and some stating that it isn't.... Thanks

    my guess would be that there is more than one version, one for each socket like most C2D

    Looks like you're right, so it shouldn't be able to fit in the MSI 1651 right? bummer :(

    I vaguely remember hearing something about BGA T7800s on which PGA interposers had been grafted... but I might be crazy, so the answer is probably no. I mean, I'm sure it's possible, just very, very, very, very, very hard :D
