Should the X6DVL-EG support a pair of SL9HB processors? I have two of these machines with 2.8GHZ processors and 8GB of memory each with 2 1TB drives in a raid 0 configuration per machine. One has a pair of Irwindale processors and the other has a pair of Nacona processors. I have 4 SL9HB’s (3.2GHZ) processors that I would like to use to upgrade the two X6DVL-EG boxes.
Actually this board does not support as 7130 is for MP boards like X6QT8:
