    Re: K9N Neo processor support

    Thank you I saw mine was in the Athlon 64(Orleans, FSB200, L2 Cache 512K) column. Can the motherboard support other colums like the Athlon 64x2(Windsor, FSB200, L2 Cache 2x512K) as long as it doesnt say under testing or no?
    Thanks again for the reply with the url's.

    Re: K9N Neo processor support

    the since 3.3 means it will support that cpu from that bios version
    you must check the revison of your motherboard matches the one on the list
    as there are different version of the KN9-Neo and from what i can tell defferent revisons to thouse boards
    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
