K9N Neo processor support

[coreyhand06]

I have a K9N Neo motherboard with an amd athlon64 3500+ 2.2ghz processor and was looking to upgrade the processor to a 6000+, but I think I read somewhere it isnt supported although kn9 neo is am2 x2 supported, can anyone tell me the best processor to get for this motherboard please?

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.

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

Thanks again, is it possible to get updates for the bios from the msi website?

...... I just had a look myself and you can get updates through the live update service.
