Socket LGA775 query

[Bernie the Bolt]

My Foxconn mobo supports socket LGA 775 cpu's. I am looking to buy a used Intel core 2 duo E6750 which is socket [u]P[/u]LGA 775. Will this be compatible with my mobo. What does the P stand for?

Also, the E6750's spec includes "Instruction set - 64 bit" Does that mean it is not compatible with my XP 32 bit OS or does it mean that it supports [u]up[/u] to 64 bit.

I would appreciate answers to both queries if that's ok

I have just submitted this query and I notice the letter P and the word up which I should have been underlined, has been has not been converted correctly. The E6750 socket should therefore read PLGA 775 and the second paragraph should read- up to 64 bit

Many thanks for your reply GHSV.

My Foxconn series number is :- M7VMX and the Manual shows it supports Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme and Core 2 duo together with 1333/1066/800 Mhz FSB. I assume therefore the E6750 socket PLGA 775 cpu will also be compatible with the BIOS. As a matter of interest, what does the P stand for?

Given the above information, I would appreciate you confirmation the E6750 will be OK.

P stands for plastic most likely (Plastic land grid array).

E6750 is OK.
