I want to use a i7 6700 skylake cpu for a server as it support 64GM of ram .I know this is not a server cpu but budget is tight
http://ark.intel.com/products/88196/...up-to-4_00-GHz
and probably this board

My question
From what iv'e researched skylake will be supported in the 4.3 kernel but ubunu 14.04.3 is on at most 3.19
If i use a 3.19 kernel with this cpu will system still work or will i have stability problems
I guess the new feature of cpu won't be supported but at the moment my main concern is stability .
I suspect when we get to 16.04 the lts enablement stack will back port that kernel but i want to setup before then
