From: tdoggwise on 20 Jan 2010 16:27 I have two precisions 670's and I have found that some of the systems support dual core SL8MA cpu's. I have one of each. Inspection of my motherboards in each systems does not indicate that there is a difference. I have attempted to install dual core cpu's, ones from the dual core system and others that I have purchased. No matter what I have tried on the other system I cannot install the dual core cpu's. I get a message that says that the system has detected an unsupported processor. Would anyone out there happen to know why some 670 motherboards support dual core SL8MA's and some do not?

Check whether an update is available for the particular board. |
