I am looking for this too, and all I have found so far, was an out-of-production Albatron Mini-ITX board. Mine is a single core, so you may have a little more luck, but there are very few manufacturers who specify Turion64(_x2) compatibility, even if the boards are compatible. --kj This is the newer (AM2) version of the one I was thinking of: http://www.albatron.com.tw/English/Product/MB/pro_detail.asp?rlink=Specificationno=239 Not quite what you're looking for but as close as I've been able to get to it. Thanks. No I don't actually have a Turion, and you have all the important bits of the thread... :) How can one tell whether a mobo is surreptitiously compatible with current Turion64 or Turion64x2 CPUs? I found this page which gives some idea: http://angelfall.s39.xrea.com/area2ch/turion-e.html But of course, manufacturers often change things, without changing the board revision number. I've read a couple of reports where a BIOS update was required to solve some issue with the hardware, but the BIOS update removed Turion64 compatibility - chicken-and-egg situation. This page also has some useful info: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article300-page6.html Other than that you have to depend on the manufacturer to officially support it. The only such board I know of is the MSI K8MM3-V, which I can no longer find for sale anywhere. --kj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Socket 754 is fine for me though - I have a ML-34 sitting in a dead notebook. 1.8GHz with 1MB cache, plenty powerful for my needs... --kj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
