I was hoping to get a brisbane cpu, but as you can see, they do not list any as approved.
As a newbie to building, should I just stick with the windsor to be safe? I am too new at this to know how to find out if there is a way to flash the BIOS on this board to support brisbane.
I don't think that you'll have any problem running the brisbane.
The approved CPUs list is a list of parts that have been tested to work together but that doesn't mean that they won't run well with a part that is not on the list.
What you can do is google your motherboard to see if anyone has the configuration you wanted and then ask him if he has any problems.
------------------------------For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
