Hmm... Intel has broken tradition by allowing high-end Xeon chips to work in lowly consumer motherboards? If so, cool...

yeah we got 2 ES Clovertowns from the intel rep a couple days back, gonna throw them into a server board and clock them up using ES bios and also the rep has told us that he'll supply info on which pin/pad to issolate in order to force it to run @ 1333Mhz thus clocking it right up
will post back when that info comes thru

no good for a home pc i guess ?

still lost as 2 what to do with my cpu's

yeah kentsfield is the home version if thats what it can be called and clovertown is the full blown server dual quad core version i guess the instruction sets must be different as well to cope with different memory configs etc
