ASUS M2A-VM ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131172 ) Well considering that the M2A-VM doesn't support the 6400+ http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...ge=en-us&model =M2A-VM&os=17 I wouldn't consider using it. This board does not support any 125W CPUs. They were listed at first but presumably ASUS have had problems with the power needed and they have been removed from the supported list. or 2.) BIOSTAR TA690G ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138057 ) -- Regards - Rodney Pont The from address exists but is mostly dumped, please send any emails to the address below e-mail ngpsm4 (at) infohitsystems (dot) ltd (dot) uk |

It is by Foxconn, so getting support from other users might be tougher. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186141 The CPU compatibility chart is here. Open in Internet Explorer. The 6400+ is there. http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Upload...-S-CPU-A83.mht The main page for the board is here. http://www.foxconnchannel.com/produc...D=en-us0000371 They even have a forum... if you can figure it out. http://forum.foxconnchannel.com/ Paul |
