AMD Recommended Motherboards for Dual Core
The AMD website has extensive lists of tested and approved motherboards for Athlon 64 processors. A listing on the AMD site is Official support for a CPU as established in AMD testing. AMD's Official list of motherboards supporting x2 processors is pretty short.
AMD AthlonTM 64 4800+
X2 (Socket 939)

I know someone with a venice chip, and 4 gigs of ram in a DFI SLI-dr board and hes running 1T. I dunno why yours doesn't work for you. There are specific BIOS dates in the 5/10 form for different kinds of memory. Maybe that would fix it.KeithDust2000 - Tuesday, June 28, 2005 - link
Wesley, I mean why are there no benchmarks availableusing the new capabilities? I´m very interested in that!

#24 - The FX57 is also 90mm Rev. E. We mention several times in this article that the new Rev. E memory controller adds additional asynchronous memory speeds to DDR500. This is not just a feature of FX57, but applies to all Rev. E processors including x2.The BIOS has to implement the new programming for the additional memory ratios to be available in BIOS.

Hi Wesley! What´s up with the 533Mhz Memory support included in the FX-57?"The shift to the 90-nm SOI process also means that the FX-57 differs in some small ways from the FX-55. Originally, the FX-55 supported just DDR-400 speeds; the FX-57's memory controller now will interface with DDR-533, and has some other small improvements, Seckler said."

No one seems to be covering that!?!

nice article, just a good general roundup of topics. well doneMyrandex - Tuesday, June 28, 2005 - link
My motherboard has X2 support but it isn't listed. It is the Giga-Byte K8N Ultra SLi. From the Giga-byte website:F3 2005/6/28
Support Athlon 64x2 dual core CPU

Thanks Wes,I have been looking for an article like this one for little while now.

supposedly there is a beta bios out for the MSI K8N neo2 Platinum that has dual core support...http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/7025nms19B5.zip

This is an interesting thread on the nF3 dual core topic...http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid...
