So looks like the new chips will work fine on the 890fx and 890gx mb's http://www.nordichardware.com/news/...rboards-updated-for-amd-fx-and-bulldozer.html Happy days
I hate to tell you but this info came out a little while ago, already been a thread about it I believe
It was all unofficial before. That news is in relation to an official PR from ASUS, with precise mobos listed. All previous AM3 boards are subject to the manuf. whim of upgrading their old BIOS' versus selling you a new board.
I didn't know this little bit was official either. Thanks for the update... nice to know that my 200 bucks won't go to waste (using the 1090T X6 with it)
