Ok,
I just snagged a '09 Octo 2.26 for DIRT (Seriously... ridiculously, insanely, cheap), and I have a 2010 Quad 2.8.
I'm going over the possibilities here....
As I understand it, the boards are different, right?
Q) The 2009's were lidless, and the 2010's were not????
I seem to remember this being the case, in which case, probably not the best idea to swap between machines even if compatible, in which case, I'll just sell the 2009 at a huge profit and go buy a dual socket 2010 processor board and grab a set of Westmeres
----------
I just noticed another, basically identical post went up shortly prior to mine
sorry.... please feel free to delete this thread, sorry
