Doesnt Nehalem supposedly run off of the LGA1160 instead of the traditional LGA 775?

 

[nOcLuE98]

wow, that would just suck.

 

[DawnOfDoom]

yea thats what i came up with after doing some poking around on wikipedia/ my other resources.

I guess I will have to sell the whole computer. I would like to start over in a few months anyway. I think summertime I will sell and rebuild. Maybe with some watercooling, just so it looks cool I want UV tubes in my pc

Quite the expensive hobby.

haha that is ok. Can you guys post the info about the nehalem's not working with the 775?

edit:
just looked it up on wiki, that doesnt sound promising. I mean the whole thing does, but the diff socket part. Oh well, excuse to upgrade

Yep, one of the main things about nehalem is that it dosent have a northbridge, which all current intel chips do.
