Socket 939 + Winchester

Richard Dower

I have a question regarding the Gigabyte board below, can anyone tell me if the latest bios supports the Winchester core and Socket 939?

Either i'll go for the AMD 4000+ or the Winchester AMD 3500+, depending on how much money i can raise. But i don't wanna buy Winchester if it won't boot!

All 939 motherboards support winchesters. But I believe asus are the only ones you can get to boot out of the box. I think one of the MSI boards might have a possible work around too. However I don't recommend gigabyte if your anyway looking to overclock. Although there boards are good at stock and feature packed (just check listing stuff) there pants when you push them and over priced and I had several bad experiences with a gigabyte socket 754 board. And then trying to run linux on it lol....I could rant on. I'm currently rather happy with my Abit AV8 3rd Eye board. Just my views on 939 motherboards. Bit of free advice ignore if you feel fit.

MSI K8N can boot of the box too.
