Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe and DDR500?

[velocci]

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe mb. I read in anandtech.com that with Rev. E AMD, you can put DDR 433, 466, 500 memory in there. What exactly is Rev. E AMD? is it a bios update? where do i get this?

thanks

Please give the exact link as to what you read, and we will help you btw
Ram on DDR 500 is just telling you that it can be overclocked till 250 Mhz and thats it. Also then the CPU standard fan and heatsink will also need to be changed so be carefull.

hi, what do you mean by "Ram on DDR 500 is just telling you that it can be overclocked till 250 Mhz and thats it."? are you saying that this motherboard won't take DDR500 memory, but that with this Rev i will be able to overclose the DDR400 memory?

is it the right one?
Now you can safely say that new processors are going to suport the new DDR 500 specification alltough I havent tried it myself I can safely vouch for it having read many topics about this on the net.
