I at first thought when asus says a cpu isn't supported, that it wouldn't boot at all, but today I've tried a 65nm p4 into a p5p800s mainboard, wich isn't supposed to support any 65nm cpu's, on any revision, and it booted, it gave some kind of error but it booted...

Now I'm woudnering, how would a core 2 duo react to a rev 1.00 p5ld2, wich doesnt supprot c2d, but the rev2.0 does of this board, and i have bios that ''recognizes'' core 2 duo cpu's...

Would, a core 2 duo boot at all on my board, I don't care if only at 800 mhz fsb, that can be increased, I at this point only want to know what people think, would it show something on the screen like the 65nm p4 did on a board that wasn't supposed to support them (at all, my board supports core 2 duo, just not at this revision of the pcb)?
 
Any idea then why a 65 nm p4 631 booted then on a p5p800s, wich by no means ever supported 65 nm cpu's and has no idea what volts to give it ?

Because at the end of the day the P4 631 was nothing more than a dieshrunk netburst prescott core. The Core 2 Duo is a completely different CPU and requires a physical change to the motherboard, at PCB level not chipset (a new VRM) for the cpu to function. The board would likely power up but I doubt that it will boot.
