This is a micro-ATX board with onboard graphics which supports the E6850 using BIOS 0559 or higher.

The DP35DP supports your processor using BIOS 0267 or higher.


Of the two Intel motherboards above, the DP35DP is better featured.

Note: some motherboards based on the Intel P35 chipset require DDR3 memory.



Finally, might you consider parting with the E6850 keeping the 975X motherboard ?
