Intel core 2 Quad Q 8400 and x64

It is a low level driver for CD's and DVD's supplied as part of some softwares.
See this page for ore information.
What is Pcouffin

It is not a virus, but check the file sizes mentioned. The message is misleading as it means X64 systems, not just AMD.

Usually a 64bit Quad or Dual Core will work with 7/8. If you get Windows 8.1 Version, it will work as a general rule.

The i3 cpu is a 64 bit processor, therefore it will suit 64 bit Windows OS.

z8 is nice, I know for sure,
Z8PE-D12 the dual xenon server grade mobo, like my z600 works station has but HP made.
let me guess both boards never worked for you and you bought them on fleabay, and are DOA? that it, what is the story here.

Let me guess more, (no history at all)
you just put in a new CPU, xeon, ?
well if you did and
1: it is not support, it will do that.
2: or it needs flashed bios to support newer xeons.
3; no you can not run all xeon's made in this mobo ever.
first off put only one xeon the primary socket.
and only ram for just it.
then at ausu we site makes sure you are using the right xeons first.

the correct path is with working xeon, flash the bios.
then upgrade xeons last.
ok?
5500 series processor

Six-Core/Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® X5600/X5500 Series (95W)
here is the offical list.
newest BIOS is 1401
i bet yours is super old bios and not stated, or what xeons you have.
as you can see it is not trivial this topic.

it seems owning just 1
Dual-Core Intel Xeon E5502
as cheap as $5 60 on fleabay will allow flashing this mobo firmware, worst case.

yes it is. =) as long as your processor is compatible with windows 7 ultimate. this is the specs of your motherbard and I think it is pretty cool:

- Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo Ready
- Intel® Quad-core CPU Ready
- Intel® 45nm CPU Ready
- G31+ICH7
- FSB 1333/1066/800MHz
- Dual-channel DDR2 800/667
- 4x SATA 3Gb/s
- Gb LAN
- 6-channel HD Audio
- EZ Flash2 & CrashFree BIOS3

please rate how this helped you.

Hi,

Here are the motherboard's processor specs >>>>

Intel Quad-core CPU Ready
LGA775 socket for Intel Core 2
Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium D / Pentium 4 / Celeron D
Processors
Compatible with Intel 05B/05A/06 processors
Intel
Hyper-Threading Technology ready
64-Bit Processing Technology

Yes the motherboard can be used with a 32 bit or a 64 bit processor.

You can only mix the same family processors with different stepping and speed. Pentium D is not in the same family as a Xeon. So no, you can not. For as long as the processors are in the same family, you can mix dual core with quad core and even different speed.

depends on what you plan to do with the cpu amd are good but a 3200 may only run @ 1.8 to 3.2 ghz depending while a intel 3200 will run 3.2 ghz.
I believe intel are more stable & run cooler than AMD but AMD benchmarks on Games better but run hotter (so get a good cooling fan & heatsink both pentium / celeron d & intel dou / dual core / core 2 dou and amd x2 have 2 cores (but watch your front side bus and cache the higher the better but the more $ also) then You need a good stable mobo that supports the chip you get (I preffer asus & msi for Gamers and biostar / msi for home users)

the processor is core 2 quad 2.4 ghz, and as far as i know it does support 64 bt os. also bios is updated to latest from intel site using flash drive. but there were no mentions in the bios about using 32 or 64 bit os

You are correct. The Asus P5K does support SATA RAID configuration. Page 4-14 in the user manual.
Congifuration [Enhanced]. Only real option is IDE. That does not mean the SATA drives will run like an IDE. The SATA's will function faster. In order to get RAID function you would need to have bought the Asus P5K Deluxe. http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=P5K%20Deluxe/WiFi-AP&SLanguage=en-us
