[Leaplist] LGA775 Mbd question ....

 .... I am thinking about building a box using a socket LGA775 mbd, 
specifically a Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2, LGA775 socket, Intel G965 North 
bridge. I downloaded the manual & read most of it. It specifically 
mentions supporting Intel Core 2 Duo CPU's (dual-core). It *doesn't* 
mention the newer Core 2 quad CPU's (quad core, recently a bit cheaper). 
Both CPU's are socket LGA775, appear otherwise compatible, same FSB 
speeds, etc. *Question*: Will this board in fact support the quad-core 
CPU, or are there more details besides just socket to determine that ? 
Thanks in advance.
