Asking if a specific motherboard will accept a specific CPU is in some way 
related to this list?

I'm thinking of buying a larger television.  Can you tell me if it'll fit 
into my entertainment furniture or do I need to buy a new one?  Oh, and 
this for my mythtv box so that makes it pertinent.  Thanks.

Tell me again what the paragrah above has to do with mythtv?

I have to sort through enough mail on this list already.  I don't want to 
be sorting through general hardware and linux questions.  There are 
resources for those questions, use them.  You'll probably get more/better 
responses on the proper list.
