Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

intense said:I have an asus P5GD1 915P motherboard and wanted to know the difference between the 540J and the 540, also if my board supports the J series.
thanks for any help

well is a socket 775? or 478? if its 775 then you can get the J seris.

well socket 478's arent "named" in other words there isnt such thing a 540j or 540 cpu for socket 478 also he said his mobo was a 915p...thats a 775 chipset. im not sure but i believe that the 540j is the prescott version and the 540 is the northwood, i think. The prescotts overclock better so id go with that as long as you can cool it. but if you dont plan to overclock go with the northwood because stock they are slightly faster
*BUZZ* Wrong answer.
775s are all Prescott, except for Extreme Edition- they're Gallatin. The J-steppings have the XD-bit, for hardware assistance of DEP in SP2. (Is that enough acronyms for you?) E0 also has improved thermal management features, including (from Tom's, referring to E0):

http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20041115/index.html said:In addition to the non-execute feature (also known as Execute Disable or Execute Disable Bit), the revised core offers Enhanced Halt Mode and Thermal Monitoring 2. While the former feature offers load-dependent clock speed modulation, the latter uses the same basic technique to protect the core from overheating. Thus, we expect noticeable improvement in thermal loss during idle time.
hey i just said thats what i thought i didnt say i knew for sure, you dont have to be a smart ass

*Awh I think they just kissed and made up*
your board should take a J no problem, I dont think youll see a performance difference between the cpus, as the features added wouldnt really give you a speed boost. But Ill take lower temps any day of the week.
