Asus M2V and Amd Athlon 620

[DANZO]

Hey, I've not posted here in some time, i was hoping for abit of help, I've got an Asus M2V Socket am2 Motherboard and recently acquired myself an Athlon 2 620, I've updated my bios via the asus wesbite to the newest version which is version 2103 which is dated March 08, I know this board is pretty darn old but reading that this Athlon will run on am2 boards i was hoping to get it going but no such luck, When i install the chip i don't get a post, Is there anywhere i can possibly get a modded bios that's newer than the one i have, I have done some searching but to no avail, Thanks, Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know that's the way i should go but i was kinda broke and wanting to get it set up today if possible, But i think what you've said is probably the best thing to do, Thanks for the link to that Motherboard i shall more thjan liekly pick that one at some point.

yah i dont think it offers support for athlon x4 620, looks to be to old of an am2 motherboard.

you could always find a cheaper newer mobo i just gave u a good basic one from asus. plus ddr3 memory is cheap
