Yes quad core is out.
The reason for the question is that an individual on the abit forums is complaining about the AW9D-Max m/b. He installed a quad core QX6700 CPU, and is unable to install any version of vista. It ran fine (vista) with a 965 cpu, but was unable to boot into vista with the quad core.

So he reformatted the drive, and tried to install rc1/rc2 and 64 but was unable to install any of them. I had him update the m/b bios from 12 to beta 13 to recognize the cpu, but he is still unable to install vista.
I realize that vista is still beta and may not support quad core at this time but because the m/b is advertized as being quad core and vista ready, he figures the m/b is at fault.

I was hoping to have an expanation as to why it would not install.
