I'm lookin for a new system to build the motherboard i wanna use is
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard [GA-P55-UD4]
as for the cpu i'm abit confused i've checked up on the CPU Support List on gigabyte site, the cpu i wanna use is Intel Core™ i7-860 2.80GHz 8MB Lynnfield 45nm but the cpu on OC they have it as Intel Core i7 860 2.80GHz (Nehalem), that is Nehalem not Lynnfield. You see what i'm getting at, are these cpu the same a mislable somewhere along the line. Anyway will the Intel Core i7 860 2.80GHz (Nehalem) work in the GA-P55A-UD4 board thanks for your trouble.
 
Nehalem is the CPU family, Lynnfield is the CPU model. The 860 will work fine on that board, and indeed any P55 board.
