I am looking for an AM2+ motherboard for my computer. I need an AM2+ because I have the only AM3 chip that's actually an AM2+, the AMD PhenomII 940 Dragon. The problem is that if I go with a new chip, the only thing that matches or exceeds the performance will cost right around $180 to $200. That's more than a hot motherboard and 8 gigs of new ram.
If you have one that you're not using and want to sell, PM me and let's make deal.
Umm Form factor? ATX or micro ATX!Quote:

I don't own anything that fancy. But I think we might have something in recycle stock at the place where I volunteer. I can't remember which AM2 AM2+ they might be. I'll check tomorrowQuote:

Ha, my desktop toy is still an AMD Athlon XP +3200 with 1 Gb of DDR (PC3200)Quote:

Sorry Charles,
No joy in Mudville. We have two HPs with MCP61PM-HM Rev 01 Motherboards. Those are AM2 only. We don't get too many AMD products unless it was a personal PC. Most of our donations are corporate and have Intel inside!
OK thanks. You tried. Looks like I'm going to go full-goose bozo at the end of the week. New CPU, MB, RAM. Maybe I can get $120 on my old RAM. 8gigs (4x2) DDR2 OCZ Gold Edition RAM.Quote:

I'm on epay right now. That Foxconn is a little older than what I need. Looked at the specs on their site. It does not support the PhenomII x4 although it is AM2+ and does support other Phenom chips.
Yup. I thought that I could do the Phenom II with my Biostar board with it being an AM2+ but got stopped at a Phenom 9650 for that very reason. Have you looked at any of the AM2+ boards at Newegg?Quote:
