It's funny how selective the Intel boards are. For example, one of the
fancy Intel boards wouldn't support a particular high end processor, forcing
enthusiasts to buy another motherboard when the processor came out. Intel
pushes their processor sales, by means of that list. The list is not
always based on technical issues. The other motherboard makers don't
do that. The only time a processor doesn't show up in the list with the
others, is known incompatibility (Nvidia chipsets have a few issues), and
power issues (wimpy Vcore regulator too weak for processor).
They generally eventually add microcode support, a few months after a
processor starts shipping.
The Asus tables don't make it easy to make the association between
motherboard name and chipset, but I'll use the master list to fix that.
I'd say it would be easier to make a list of the boards that don't support
the D 945, than the ones that do. The list is pretty extensive.
