  Is there any difference with h57 and p55 regarding xeon support? I don't think it's supported officially since it's aimed at the server market, but since it's based on lynnfield there seem to be no problem with p55 at least.

  The first time I read this article, I got the impression that the H55/H57 boards don't support a Pci16x Video card.
  The second time I read this article, I was pretty sure about it.
  
  So is that true, that the H55/H57 can't support additional Video cards (like a Nvidia or ATI graphics card)?

  Hi,
  
  H55/H57 will support a single GPU only for Clarkdale processors (so any 8x or 16x PCI/e GPU is fine).
  
  If you want to run dual GPU configurations you have to use a Lynnfield series CPU.

  Raja,
  
  For someone looking to upgrade an old system with an older PS with just the 4-pin 12V ATX connector, should they upgrade the PS as well?

  Hi,
  
  You should be fine on 4 pin with Clarkdale, unless you plan on very heavy overclocking. Load power draw is under 100 watts in most scenarios when you run these CPU's at stock (around 8~10 amps from the 12V connector).
  
  Hope the helps
