Solve : Quad Core Motherboard support?

Answer»

Do I need a new motherboard? I'm currently USING a M2N4-Sli, does anyone know if it will take a quad core cpu (AMD Phenom) or do I need a whole new mobo? mobo specs follow...

Just out of curiosity how did you find that out?From the ASUS website...I take it then that if its not in the AM2+ SECTION then it won't take one?

(of course overlooking the fact that 'Phenom' processors arn't on the 'supported processor list)

Duh I'm such a RETARD, that's the first place I looked and I completely missed that.
