I get the impression from this list, that duals (columns on the
right) are not supported.

http://www.asrock.com.tw/support/CPU_Support/em64t.asp

I am surprised that this board is listed as dual capable, when
the power specification says it supports 04a, 04b.

http://www.asrock.com.tw/product/product_775i65PE.htm

The document here, says duals need spec 05a, 05b for power.

Those Asrock dudes are pretty aggressive on their claims.

Does the Asrock P4 Combo accept dual core P4?
Or does anyone know if it will or it is even possible?
I am not familiar with the chipset used on this board.

I am not looking at building MYSELF a high end rig but
this would be an interesting upgradeable board for someone
who does not upgrade mobos very often.

TIA

Thanks, I am forgetting about this mobo.
When the time comes to move to socket 775 & dual core , I'll just toss
both 478 mobo and CPU @ the same time.
