Heya, great review.
I very much cant wait to see what the numbers look like on a AM2+ board.
I have been reading how the Phenom II's will work on the M2N32-SLI and a few other AM2 (non-plus) boards with a new bios, some officially (bios reports chip correctly), some unofficially (bios reports unknown processor)
I was wondering if you could throw an older AM2 (non-plus) board in to the mix when you run the AM2+ to give people with older boards an idea of how well the new chips run on the old boards. (probably even with ddr2-800 as that's what most people with the older boards run).
I would like to see if I will get much benefit upgrading from my 9750 to a phenom II. The plan is to get the chip in a few months time and run it in the M2N32 till the end of the year when I will put it in a new AM3 board.
The first Athlon x2 that lived in the M2N32 got put in a 780G and turned in to a HTPC. The 9750 will go back in to the M2N32 and replace my aging server.....
Man this old board has had a good long life. =)
