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.

    The FN95 V3 motherboard works with the X2. This is the motherboard in the SN95G5 V3,It works well.

    The Shuttle released a new BIOS for the SN25P on 21 June. The linked README doesn't refer to this new release (yet), but I'm hoping that it has something to do with X2 support.

    Shuttle SN95G5 V3 has problems with the X2 but a bios is in the works.

    The chart on page 4 has been updated based on information sent in by readers - Thank you. If we could verify the BIOS existed and claimed x2 support by the mfg, then it was added to the list.

    If we have overlooked any x2 BIOS please let us know. The motherboard supported, BIOS rev date, and where the BIOS can be downloaded would help us in verifying the information.

    The new DFI UT LP NF3 Ultra-D supports rev E/x2 cpus right out of the box..
  • 100proof - Thursday, June 30, 2005 - link

    I don't believe this question has been asked yet. In refference to the comments concerning the addiotion of 433, 466, and 500 DDR speeds for Revision E processors, which motherboards currently have bios releases that support these speeds?
