| 1121023 | 2010-07-22 06:04:00 | Most AM3 mobos support AM2 / AM2+. And AM2 mobos support AM3 with BIOS updates | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1121024 | 2010-07-22 08:02:00 | Most AM3 mobos support AM2 / AM2+. And AM2 mobos support AM3 with BIOS updates No, they don't. AM2\AM2+ CPUs don't have the DDR3 memory controller that an AM3 board expects for a start, and the pinout won't actually let you put it in the socket either. But yes, you can run AM3 CPUs on most AM2\AM2+ boards because the AM3 CPU has both DDR3 and DDR2 memory support, provided there is a BIOS upgrade which can support the CPU (and the VRMs can tolerate the power requirement if it is a 125 or 140 Watt CPU) |

| 1121026 | 2010-07-22 09:29:00 | Yeah AM3 CPUs have one less pin than AM2/AM2+. Are any of you guys in Christchurch, and willing to let me borrow a video card just to check that it's not my vid card causing problems? | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 1121027 | 2010-07-22 21:25:00 | Yeah I can lend you a card for a couple of days. PM your details. |

| 1121028 | 2010-07-22 22:43:00 | FYI ASRock = Asus rebranded | Deimos (5715) | ||
| 1121029 | 2010-07-22 23:35:00 | FYI ASRock = Asus rebranded I believe Asus is a parent company, its not re branding, sound like semantics but there is a diff. Asus needed to compete with the likes of ECS and Foxconn without hurting the Asus brand. If you ask me they went to far Asrock is utter rubbish. |

| 1121030 | 2010-07-22 23:42:00 | We have predominantly Asus and Gigabyte here at work, i have had failures on both. They would still be my pick as the best. | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1121031 | 2010-07-24 11:04:00 | Thanks to DeSade, I've tried a 7600 with my 9600 in the x16 slots and it is working, which is kind of odd. Although my PC has only recognised the presence of the 9600. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
