Hi, I have this same motherboard, and it doesnt actually support anything but dual MP processors. There is a mod that you can do to a XP processor that will make the motherboad believe that it is a MP processor and enable you to use it, but this would void any warranty. http://www.livepublishing.co.uk/pcextreme/page_316.shtml I havnt tried this personally. But, other than that it is not supported.
