I was just thinking about a new mobo and cpu when I cam across this:

http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

What would be the lmitations of

an Athlon IIX4 64(ADX640WFK42GM), 3.0GHz,512KB,rev.C3,95W

or an Phenom IIX4 945 (HDX945WFK4DGM),3.0GHz,2048KB,95W

with such an old board. To be honest I cannot believe Asus have given support for this old board.

The limitations would probably be a bit lower performance due to lower HT speeds and DDR2, plus lacking whatever is new (USB3/SATA6G).

If you were buying new I don't know why you'd go that old unless you got if for super cheap. I was just looking at getting an ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe brand new after rebate for $85 at NewEgg. They appear to have sold out and now you can only get the open box version for $105.

This board supports all the way up to Phenom 2 X4 965.

The Phenom ][ X4 945 does cost about $150 right now but the great thing about that upgrade is you could buy the CPU now put it in your rig and then later buy a new motherboard and DDR3 but still use that CPU.
