CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Motherboards. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of motherboard.
Socket LGA775
LGA775 (occasionally called Socket T) is a current processor socket used for Intel desktop processors and has been in use since mid-2004. As such, it is the basis of most current consumer motherboards and supports a variety of processors including versions of the Pentium 4, Pentium D, and Core 2 processors. As actual compatibility with a particular processor is determined by the chipset used on the board, it is still important to check the motherboard's actual compatible processors.
