I have noticed that there have been a lot of rumors about the D901C not being about to support the E6X50 CPUs at full speed because of a chipset limitation. I just want to say that this is not true, and that the P965 is capable of 1333FSB. The only new technology that it cannot support is 45nm CPUs.

For more info, take a look:

This mod allows you to boot an E6X00 running 1333MHz FSB, but it is not recommended since all of these chips cannot do that speed without any extra voltage. This is merely a proof of concept.

Just going off of this from Intel:

From other things I've seen on the web, it sounds like the 1333 support is due to overclocking the P965 chipset... not because the P965 chipset is stock 333 MHz base clock freq.

Take a look at the thread I posted. Some Desktop P965 motherboards carry support up to 400MHz (1.6GHz FSB), and not through overclocking.
