Tukeeko Asus M2n68 AM3:a? Jos tukee niin millä "lisä-osalla" (vai tarviiko) sen saa?
Linkki M2n68 sivuille:
*LINKKI* * EDIT: Kyllä tukee mutta miten sen prossun saa emolevyyn kiinni?? *

Lainaus:AMD has confirmed that AM3 processors will work on some AM2 motherboards. However, AM2/2+ processors will not work on AM3 motherboards because AM2 processors lack the DDR3 memory controller. Also, two extra pins and the change in contact placement (940 for AM2 processors vs 938 for AM3 processors) makes the older chips mechanically incompatible with the new socket, preventing users from attempting to install an old chip in a new board. As of late 2008, AMD announced all processors including the Deneb FX will offer support for both DDR2 and DDR3.
Jos nopeasti lukaistuani oikein käsitin, AM3 on 938-pin ja AM2/AM2+ on 940-pin. Täten, AM3 prossut saa laitettua AM2-kantaan, mutta AM2/AM2+ ei voi laittaa AM3 kantaan 2:n ylimääräisen "jalan" takia. Eli jos emolevyn valmistajan sivulla mainitaan AM3-tuki, siihen voi lykätä AM3-kantaisen prosessorin. Olinko tarpeeksi epäselvä? :D
Edit: Joillain sivustoilla väitettiin, että AM3 olisi 941-pin, mutta sehän ei voi pitää paikkaansa, koska siinä tapauksessa AM3-prossuja ei saisi nykyisiin niitä tukeviin emolevyihin, koska niissä on vain 940 reikää.
Meet tonne emolevyn sivulle, vasemmassa reunassa on nappula "Download", valitset käyttöjärjestelmän ja etsit käsiisi vähintään BIOS version 0412. Mutta turhaa se on vielä tässä vaiheessa päivittää.
