Question about my aging MB

[Ethan3.14159]

I have the Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe motherboard as you can see in my sig. I did a bios flash so it could support the Phenoms. I looked and looked to see if it could support the Phenom II, but I couldn't find anything. My motherboard is rather old, so this gives me a lot of doubt. If anyone knows if it can support the Phenom II that would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to tell, they just list up to the 9950 right now. I have heard that the AM2 boards will be few and far between for a bios update for the 940/920 and the AM3 processor. On the older AM2, these board makers want to sell boards, so most of the CPU updates will be on there AM2+ boards. Some of the older AM2 board dont have enough Bios memory to handle the update, thats one of the reason some of the AM2s never got a Phenom update at all.

You could just Email Asus and see if they plan on updating the bios for it.

Thanks I won't be heartbroken or anything if it can't use the Phenom II. I'll just go with a 9850 or 9950. I'm waiting for a reply from Asus about the bios update.
