Can you get your hands on a S775 chip? That would probably be the easiest test.

I was under the impression that boards which would run the Q94XX retail version would have no problems running the Xeon chip. The Xeon chip I slapped into a Formula Maximus worked fine, and it wasn't listed in the CPU support either.

I am having a hard time trying to locate a 775 chip locally, everyone either has old pc's or amds... I guess I am going to have to call a local pc shop and see what they will charge me to flash the bios using one of there chips. either that or see if i can find an cheap used Celeron 400 Sequence 420 1.60GHz Conroe-L ..

I picked up an E1200 for flashing (awesome overclocker), and it worked for me, but I later found that it isn't natively recognized by all 775 boards (MSI 650i board ran it, but ran a bit funky WRT the FSB).
