2 out of 5 stars BE VERY Careful - Does not work with high end Phenoms   May 3, 2008

Before purchasing the MOBO, I really did my home work. Thing is I wanted to get a nominal gaming quality MOBO for a good price.

However I did not spare and effort w.r.t. the CPU.
I got me a 9850 Phenom, and it is on its way (Shipping).

Still I am reading reviews while I wait.

Then I sunk, apparently, you CANNOT use the 9850 and others with the
M3a78-EMH.

[...]
And like they said, the real issue of compatibility
specifications were really kind of sketchy by the MOBO
makers.

So now I have to go to collect my CPU (just grounded)
and will not be able to use it unless I get a better
MOBO.

Remember certain CPUs will work OK with the MOBO just
do your research.
