| 840518 | 2009-12-17 06:03:00 | Hello PC World I was wonder if this (www.computerlounge.co.nz) motherboard would support future AM3 Cpu's like Thuban etc Thanks :) |

| 840519 | 2009-12-17 06:19:00 | It may if they do a BIOS update. But, the only CPU's it supports are x3 and x4 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 840520 | 2009-12-17 07:10:00 | There's no gaurantee, but yeah you should be sweet for a while. Worst case scenario probably is that you can't use full features e.g. faster HyperTransport speeds if and when they come out. And...looks like it supports x2 to me?? "Support for Socket AM3 processors: AMD Phenom™ II X4 / X3 / X2 (except 920 / 940) and Athlon II X4 / X3 / X2 processors " |

| 840521 | 2009-12-17 08:48:00 | Its possible that they will release a BIOS update for it to enable support for newer CPUs. Asrock aren't the most reliable motherboard, I would personally go for an Asus or possibly a Gigabyte Blam |

| 840522 | 2009-12-17 22:34:00 | Asrock are fine Blam, have been for a number of years and are very popular in the states.... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 840523 | 2009-12-17 22:40:00 | Well theres not much diff between Asrock and ASUS. Since its still part of ASUS isnt it?? They just make smaller / cheaper mobos. And some of the mobos have less fetaures than others / and support less ram | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 840524 | 2009-12-18 09:42:00 | Tri Crossfire for under $150 along with ddr3 support and good overclocking abilities. Unfortunately theirs always a catch with cheap motherboards :( | dian77 (13936) | ||
