The Inquirer reports from Cebit that the newly released revision E Athlon 64 CPU chips dont work with certain NF3/4 motheboards.
PROBLEMS APPEAR to be affecting Athlon 64 revision E chips on some Nforce 3 and Nforce 4 motherboards. Symptoms include motherboard shut down and failure to boot, according to reports here from CeBIT.

In order to solve these problems, new motherboards might be necessary and there doesn't appear to be an instant fix. We are attempting to gather more details here in Hannover.

    That's bad news. Lets hope it's a simple BIOS fix or this is going to be embarrassing for nVidia and AMD. Shall be following this one closely.
