I've got an M3A79-T, which Asus is claiming to have AM3/DDR3 support with a bios update. With my phenom, im quite happy with the boards performance. Have run the northbridge at 2.5ghz w/o breaking a sweat. Im sure the phenom IIs will like that

Yep, it is. I've seen some OC's as high as 2200 MHz compared to maybe 1300 MHz OC's for HT2 ...

ddr3 support on a ddr2 mobo?
You won't have DDR3 support on a DDR2 mobo. The slot is not compatible so the mem will not fit.
I do wonder though if the first AM3 boards will be nothing more than the AM2+ boards with DDR3 slots (and appropriate adjustments made to mem power management).
The chipset needs nothing new as I understand it because that is all handled on the CPU. Really thinking about it I am sure most mobo manufacturers will simply take their already working boards, toss some DDR3 slots on them, provide a few minor updates (and possibly cosmetic changes) and ship them out under a different name.
I just hope that due to the board using pretty much all of the same stuff we already have that they take a little bit of time and fix a few of the problems that we have in the AM2+ line. They could also take this time to make a few improvements in different areas. Bill it as an all new board design if you want, just give us something that is solid right from the start this time.

IMO they'd be better off if they did re-use the same design, swap in the DDR3 slots, and adjust the vDIMM. Nothing flimsy about the M3A32 that I've heard of, nor the M3A78-T/79-T. Same for the DFI & MSI boards in that class. Those boards are all field tested and have delivered very good performance so why change?
What have you seen that isn't "solid" ...?

I think most of the problem was the early stages of the phenom before we got to the 9950
there is only a few that I'm aware of that want or wouldn't hold there own

Shanghai is the codename for the 45nm Opteron server workstation processor, often used for the whole 45nm line as this was the first 45 cpu codename we heard of.
Phenom II is a brand used for desktop processors which covers 45nm processors with L3 cache the Deneb quadcore and Heka triplecore processors, actually the die is the same as the shanghai, packaging is different for the socket F processors.
K10 based 45nm processors without L3 codename will launch under the Athlon name, the codenames are Propus for quad, Rana for triple, and Regor for duals.

I cant wait to see this!
Didn't even notice that. I was looking at the fact that is Stepping 2, unlike my previous CPU-Z shot. Whats up with the GPU score by the way? Are they using on board graphics?
To those that think the CPU score is low, start looking around. It may not be able to do much against the i7 but you will start to see that it is right there with Quad Core Intel 45nm

Vantage is optimized for SSE4 of Intel's Core and Nehalem architecture.0
IMHO in the end one the new am3 board come out so we can use ddr3 with the PII I think the 940 will be on par with intels new 920 except when fully overclocked then I think and only hope that amd will take the lead above the 920 and right below there 965...

I hope the final stepping will do much better than 1.36V for 3.4G.
