    K8N Neo4 Motherboard

     
    I have the K8N Neo4 Platinum Edition. I wanted to know how high can I upgrade the processor on it? I currently have AMD 64 3200+. I would like to upgrade it sometime.
    Here is the motherboard: MSI Computer Corp. - Product

    I would appriciate links to suggestions too

    I am actually looking into "AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition (95W) Dual-Core Socket AM2+, 2.8GHz, 512KB x2 L2 Cache, 2000MHz HT, 65nm"

    Well I can tell you right now it won't support the x2 7850, they aren't even the same socket.

    From msi:
    CPU Supports 64-bit AMD® Athlon™ 64FX/64 processor (Socket 939) Supports 3000+, 3200+, 3500+, 3800+, 4000+, FX53 and FX55

    it'll also support the X2 dualcores, I'm running an x2 3800+ in one right now.

    it has an nForce4 Ultra chipset, and the highest cpu you can put in there is the FX-62 dualcore or something, or the x2 4800+

    it should also support any Socket 939 Dual Core Opteron CPU's as well. I had the same Motherboard as that (but the SLI version) a couple years back, and had always looked into putting an Opty in it.

    never did though.

    of course now I have an Opteron 165 (1.8GHz Dual core), and not the board LOL... but do have a Foxconn Socket 939 SLI board to use with it so...

    but yeah, the Opteron Dual cores for the Socket 939 platform were essentially identical to the X2 and FX models for the same platform, just "sold" as server CPU's.
