That sounds like something that older s939 boards would encounter, before dual core was widely available. *shrugs* Is there any way to tell if those motherboards are good to go with the dual core w/o any updates? **I was helping the original poster over aim with this situation, hence the reason I'm asking questions as well**

Click to expand... Go to the manufacturer's web site and check out the ones you are looking at. It should tell you.
