For AMD dual core, any 939 (with latest bios) will do fine. The trick is how
to install latest bios.
I take it if I buy a MOBO with an older firmware, and buy a CPU which
is supported with newer firmware, there is no way to flash the bios
with this new CPU? I would need to *borrow* an older CPU? Or can I
underclock the CPU and flash the bios?
On my p3v4x at BIOS 1003, the motherboard doesn't identify my PIII 933.
Says unknown/invalid. But everything works just fine, and the BIOS
does allow me to select 933MHZ w/proper settings.
Reason I added my question is I was looking at getting a used 845
chipset mother board such as the P4B or P4X* and putting a new
processor on it. Cheap upgrade so I didn't have to buy new memory
(PC133) etc... I noticed the motherboards supported newer CPU's but
needed newer firmware than these motherboards on eBay had. Of course,
these motherboards wouldn't support Hyperthreading either.
I guess the question with a dual core is a bit different.
