I already have downloaded the drivers for ati+nvidia physx

brandonwh64 · Mar 25, 2010, 01:23 PM

OK i have a question. i really want a M3A78 board again cause it supports AM2/AM2+/AM3 and 140W cpus but will it support the new 6 core CPUs?

it will be very few am2+ boards that will support the new 6core cpu's

but you will have to wait until they get released then there will prob be a bios update if it supports it

brandonwh64 · Mar 25, 2010, 01:53 PM

hmm that sucks. even if it supports AM3 up to 965 C3?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 25, 2010, 02:00 PM

yep

but you will have to wait and see what the cpu support list will be like

or send asus a mail and ask them

Chicken Patty · Mar 25, 2010, 02:13 PM

I would wait and see Brandon, don't want to buy the board for no reason you know. I'm sure a BIOS release would allow then to be compatible.

(FIH) The Don · Mar 25, 2010, 02:17 PM

i think the board has to have ddr3 at least, i've heard that the new cpu's onlt have ddr3 controller?

brandonwh64 · Mar 25, 2010, 02:17 PM

yea your right! there is a good asus AM3 board on newegg open box but im still not sure if it would support it either. My main goal is to get a motherboard with DDR2 and 6 core support. from some other reviews it shows that the 6 cores will work on DDR2 memory cause the CPU contains DDR2 and DDR3 controller inside

Chicken Patty · Mar 25, 2010, 02:28 PM

I guess it's just a tad too early to know.

brandonwh64 · Mar 25, 2010, 02:30 PM

yea ill wait to see what my options are
