It will run, but it probably won't support Cool'n'Quiet. If you're an overclocker that probably doesn't matter to you. For me, I rewrote my ACPI DSDT (on Linux) so that it would enable C'n'Q at VIDs and FIDs of my own choosing. Under Windows, no such luck.

(Running an Opteron 185 on an Asus A8V-Deluxe, latest BIOS...) I have it undervolted and underclocked at the lowest setting (0.8V at 800MHz), and overvolted and overclocked at the top setting. (1.45V at 3.0GHz). I also have 4x1GB registered ECC DDR400 in it; the BIOS automatically limits it to DDR333 but I tweak the memory controller in my boot script to bring it back to DDR400/1T.
