Various Manufaturers:
Seems like a good site, where the search is set to 1055T and shows all motherboards which might or eventually will have it. not sure if it will be helpful

I'm running a PII 945 on an MSI K9A2 Plat as well. I'm not sure if I'd consider throwing a 6 core on it or just moving to an AM3 board at this point. I think I'm running bios 1.8.

Good idea for a post. I'm waiting for ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe support. I'll get a 1090T as soon as I get a BIOS for it .

[richierich]

Do you think the mobo manufacturers will update AM2+ mobos to support Thuban processors? I certainly hope so, but maybe they won't, forcing people to upgrade mobos as well.

[dud3man]

it would be nice to see Thuban support on am2+ boards. the max my board supports is 125tbp which should be more than enough for the x6 coming out.

[i found nemo]

i know my little asus M4N68T-M has 6cpu support ( to 125w ) ( bios 0703 and later )

is thuban supposed to be released in am2+ format? cuz am3 and am2+ aren't backwards compatible.

[Hawkeye4077]

Asus support below:
Noticeable boards missing:
M3N-HT (once flagship 780a board)
M3A79-T Deluxe (once flagship AM2+)

Here we go again Asus..

Biostar:
No existing AM3 bios updates yet. (waiting for 790GX A3+)

All of these are WCG crunchers for me.

I'll be ultra pissed if ASUS skips over my M3A79-T Deluxe! This is giving me a bad feeling in my stomach. Please come through ASUS.

Wouldn't put it past them. The old M2N-SLI Deluxe was an AM2 board that did not get updates for Phenom IIs yet they work just fine. I don't think however that we are going to see the same luck going from 4 -> 6 cores.

Asus has a history of crapping on their customers.

AM3 is indeed backwards compatible with AM2+. I have a Phenom II X2 550 its a AM3 cpu in a AM2+ board, it works in my old M3A32-MVP which was AM2+.

AM2+ = DDR2
AM3 = DDR3

and Thuban will support both DDR2 and DDR3

I'm hoping it'll support my Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P cause I just got the thing a few months ago

Didn't see this posted yet but its a more recent list of ASUS boards that support Thuban with the required bios

am3 can't take am2+ .. sorry had it backwards

[werty316]

He meant that AM3 CPUs will work on AM2+ boards because AM3 chips have a DDR2 and DDR3 memory controller.

AM2+ CPUs won't work on AM3 boards because AM2+ chips only have a DDR2 memory controller.

AM3 = DDR2/DDR3
AM2+ = DDR2 only.

i hope they bring support to the 785g chipset

[i5L4ND]

i hope they bring support to the 785g chipset

ASUS already have http://event.asus.com/mb/2010/m4_6cores/
They all will, if they haven't already.

sweet i was wondering what the new bios that was out was for.

[PatRaceTin]

960T with unlockable to 6Core will be hot in my country

960T with unlockable to 6Core will be hot in my country

I think it will be a big hit with all user that are budget conscious or are tweakers.

[chinook]
