Dual Core Pentium D will not Work on nForce4 SLI Intel Edition?

the Inquirer - While the Pentium XE 840 just flies on MSI’s P4N Diamond and the GigaByte GA-8N-SLI, two other CPUs in the lab, the Pentium D 820 and 830, boot up and work with no problem but in single core mode. At first, I thought I’d done something wrong, but plugging each CPU into GigaByte’s GA-8I955X Royal resulted in both cores working with no problems at all.

We contacted Nvidia about this, and its Euro spinner came back with the answer that Nforce4-SLI Intel Edition supports Dual-Core Pentium CPU’s only if they come from the Extreme Edition family, like the XE 840. Plain vanilla Pentium D support is in the same place as ATI chipset USB 2.0 speed.
