Does Windows work with it? Does it claim it is "x86 compatible"? Then,
yes it Just Works(tm).
Hi, apparently Window support is not quite there yet
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/09/10/intel_ivy_bridge_xeon_e5_2600_v2_launch/)
for OS Guard, which is an extension feature so I agree that it should
work fine, just wanted to be careful before I spend a lot of cash on
this new CPU and the C602 Patsburg-A Chipset.
But otherwise yes its standard amd64, with the Intel AVX instruction
set extensions.
Thanks :)
