Asus M2A74-AM-SE compatable with a Athlon II X4 620?

Hey guys, just trying to find out if the M2A74-AM-SE will take AMD's quad core chips. Hoping to pair it with the new Athlon II X4 620.

Thanks in advance guys.

Ok, funily enough the info I needed was on the Asus website.

The 620 is supported. One more question though, what limitation will a max HT speed of 1000MHz have? Will it affect overclocking etc?

Not good I would imagine, that is its communication link to well everything.

You might be able to OC it a bit though...

A lower HT Link shouldn't effect OC'ing in any way though your video performance will fall a little compared to higher HT Link speeds.

Whether the board will OC well or not is another question ...

Ok have the board now. Can't believe how tiny it is. Good opportunity to use a tiny cheap case I think.
