Hello, I have dg965ry mobo to, but i have hard time finding the right memory dimm for this that works. so my question, what type of memory are you using??? (name and typenumber)

I have a Intel Dulal Core 2 E7600, does this work on this mobo?

thank you

Is it really necessary to have a SMP kernel to take advantage of a regular dual core processor?? I have a AMD Athlon X2 4000+.

I thought that that kernel was needed only when you had more than one processor, not cores (e.g. an Intel Xeon config).

If someone can clarify me this I will be thankful.

Thanks!
