Hello,
Just purchased a new motherboard and CPU. I got the M3N78-VM with a phenom II X3 710. sooo... basically M3N78-VM does work with the Phenom II X3 even though its 45nm? From everything I've read, All I have to do is flash bios.
Here's my questions.
Do I put the processor in and then flash bios? or do I have to have an older or athlon XP x2 processor in there and then flash bios?
And my Phenom II X3 says it has 2.6GHz triple core with 7.5MB cache...But from the other posts I've read had said that it bottlenecks at 1GHz HT? AM I losing Speed by putting this processor in this Mobo?
**yes i know HT mean HyperTransport, somewhat confused..
I know that this Mobo is a AM2+, and yes I know im not fully harnessing the full potential, but I'm confused as to how much speed I lost.
