Default AMD AM2+ Mobo Compatibility Chart from Asus
Today, Asus released their list of current AM2 motherboards which can be made AM2+ compatible with a simple BIOS update. AM2+ is just around the corner and this will leave many current AM2 owners breathing a sigh of relief.

From Asus:

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS) today announced the world’s first motherboard supporting AMD AM2+ CPU. After a long-term cooperation with AMD, the M2A-VM motherboard series is the first to be available with more AM2+ CPU compatible motherboards to come from ASUS in the near future.

The Chart:

Have you heard if they will be running AM2+ features of if they are just AM2 compatible meaning they will run AM2+ CPU's at AM2 specs only?

None of these have HT3.0 nor split power planes so they are just AM2+ compatible.

I'm very curious to see how much of an impact that actually has on performance...

That will have to be seen but I have a feeling it will more than some people are expecting. HT3.0 is an integral part of the Phenom architecture so I would think the difference would be more than we saw with Intel's move to 1333Mhz FSB.

With my outstanding M2N-E *sigh* I think I'll probably be upgrading MB & CPU when AM2+ hits. Don't get me wrong, my M2N-E has been solid but not a great OC'er with it's Ram Voltage limited to 1.85v IIRC. Ah well... Sure hope the new AMDs are outstanding or I might have to jump ship since those C2Ds and Quads are kicking butt!

I've had about the same experience with my M2N-E... good board but a few minor things made me forgot about the good stuff... oh and it's 1.95V :P

I can't wait for the real AM2+ boards, hopefully Phenom and the 790 chipset will be good performers :D
