ds3l and e3110

[jcmuse]

since the e8400 doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere .. im considering going with a e3110. Anyone know if the two are compatible?

So far I have read a lot about E3110 CPUs (I use 2 myself) and todays mobos and so far I have seen nothing indicating that there are compatibility issues with the E3110. The only thing you need to be sure of is you have a bios on your board that supports the 45nm chips. Otherwise it will go into a reboot loop and the only way to get over this obstacle is to flash to the proper bios which means you will need to install a 65nm chip to do so.

If you had checked the Gigabyte site, you would have seen that the E3110 is on their list of supported CPUs for the DS3L.

Yep, I have these two together, they work fine, no update even needed.
