coknuck Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 Cool! It should fly compaired to the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 It should work as long as you get a 939 socket Opteron. Opteron are great overclocker if that what you want to do. They say the 1.8 is the best. You have a AGP video card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 that board will not work with a opteron, its Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64/Sempron only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 dlewis 23 Were did you see that it would only work with Athlon 64/Athlon64FX/Sempron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted December 31, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 that doesnt mean it wont work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 that doesnt mean it wont work yes it generaly does, if it is not on there cpu support list and there is no bios update to support it. then the CPU core isnt supported. there is a 98% chance it will not work, unless there is a update.

TimPawlak Posted December 31, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 i look on newegg and TD and search for Opteron Motherboards... nothing on newegg nor tigerdirect.. BUT on TD, in their combo list, there are a ton of mobo's that have an opteron CPU next to it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
