How to: Arima AMD Opteron Quad Core Socket F 3000 series

[confusis]

When I get some cash together I will order a Shanghai quad core to test the board.. IIRC the quads don't need the split power plane support, but i think the board may be limited to 1ghz HT bus, which leaves us with 2.7GHz shanghai as the fastest cpu.. assuming it works.. either that or we're stuck on santa rosa (k8) or Barcelona (k10 v1)

Interestingly the wikipedia article lists Barcelona having split power planes.. hmmm. True split = 6 core Istanbuls maybe. It's all up to what this 1.06 BIOS holds in it's binary hands I think
