Have you any Pentium E5x00 or Celeron E3x00?
Do you know any motherboard based on 946GZ with official support of 45-nm CPU?

I just pulled a Pentium E5300 (SLGTL) from my scrap bin. Just tested it to be good. I do not know of any 946gz boards that support a 45nm cpu. I do have a Intel DQ45CB board that supports 45nm and 65nm cpus, but not Pentium D or Pentium 4 cpus. Kinda thinking it would be easier to have a newer board support older cpus.

Try to boot with it on this motherboard.

I just tried and it does not work. No bios beep codes or display. Only gets a little bit warmer than room temp.

So BIOS patch will not help.

To xsparexstewx:
Are you checked this patched bios ?
