In-Depth Information
For this reason, you cannot use Intel 915 and 925 chipsets and some third-party chipsets
made for the Pentium 4 with the Pentium D or Pentium Extreme Edition. Intel's 945
series, 955X, and 975X desktop chipsets, and the E7230 workstation chipset, are the first
Intel chipsets to support these processors. The nForce 4 series from NVIDIA also works
with these processors.
