I've heard that excuse before. Some other motherboards with the Nforce 590 SLI chipset and the same size BIOS chip managed to get Phenom support. I believe they removed backwards compatibility with older CPUs to make room (making it difficult to go back to an Athlon X2), but they managed to do it.
My current concerns, however, rest with the Destroyer. The recent discovery that Destroyer lacks the ability to turn on AMD-V (hardware virtualization) is a huge problem. You can't even use Windows XP Mode on Windows 7 without it.
Even my old C51XEM2AA had the option to turn AMD-V on. Why is it missing on the Destroyer?
I would like to point out, yet again, that Foxconn's claim of this motherboard supporting "the latest AMD technologies" on the product page is a blatant lie. We're missing AMD-V, we're missing proper S3 sleep, we're missing support for the latest AMD CPUs.
I'm tired of being left to sit and wait; I'll be contacting the Better Business Beuro if there isn't a response directly from Foxconn on the status of the Destroyer within the next business day.
