    Hi,

    Anyone know whether the new 45mm Penryn CPU's are supported on a D901C currently fitted with a Q6700?

    Also anyone know of a UK supplier for the 8800GTX card? I'm tempted to upgrade my single card to SLI (otherwise I know I can get the card from Eurocom just a pain with international bank transfers)

    You might need a BIOS update.

    Well, I am using the E8500 with the latest bios, because my d901c has heat problems when using the q6700@all cores. No problems so far :)

    My bios is .11 (think 1.0.0.11 from memory but can't remember how many 0. there are ;) )

    Any idea if the 1333MHz FSB chips will work or is it 1066MHz only?
