Clarification on MSI motherboard supporting Athlon 3500+ processor
I am having MSI K8T Neo2 MS-6702E ATX Mainboard. It supports Socket 939 model processor. And my processor is Athlon 64 3500+ processor (socket 939). If suppose my motherboard fails at a later stage... I want to buy a mobo which suits both Athlon 64 3500+ and any other better processor like Athlon 64 FX series..
So in this page.. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_list.asp?class=mb&cpu=1
K9A2 Platinum and K9N SLI Platinum model mobos are there and if you click them and see the details... they specify
• Supports Athlon 64 CPU: 3500+, 3800+
So does it support 3500+ socket 939 or AM2 socket? Because in AMD website http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUFilter.aspx I can see 2 types of sockets 939 as well as AM2, but MSI doesnt mention which one and it says generally 3500+
Please help me on this. Thanks.
