WTF ever, man. it has nothing to do with AMD or intel.
it has to do with EVGA being a piece of **** and not taking care of their customers.
well, maybe it has to something to do with AMD/intel...cos i guarantee you that they aint changin out those mobos for nothing $$ cha ching cha ching ya know what i'm sayin.
**** intel. and **** evga, too.
EDIT:
there are quite a few resons i dont use intel. **** like this is part of it. money money money.
and just for the record, i can theoretically drop a phenom into this mobo and it will work, it just wont be recognized by the motherboard or (probably not) allow me to overclock it.
and also by the way, phenom 9500 under 2 bills on newegg. boo-yeh.
