newegg states that mobo supports Athlon 64 FX, althlon 64, and sempron, no X2

so does anyone know of a good single pci-e overclocking motherboard for my specs around that price? (75-100 probably)

Reply to ForzaItalia4

what exactly does that mean and how do you do it? can you do it without a backup processor?

Reply to ForzaItalia4

most motherboards today come with software that will flash the bios for you, but if they dont you will have to go to the motherboard makers website and download the updated bios and save it to a floppy and boot from the floppy and flash it that way.

and yes your processor will work before the flash but it will only be recoginized as a single core processor...so you gotta flash the bios for the benifits of a dual core

I'm finding my MSI K8N Neo platinum to be good, I also have an A8N-e but haven't OC'd that at all yet.
