Will A64 x2 be supported by my MoBo (Socket 939)?

Good Day,
Got an MSI K8Neo2 Platinum (S939) running a A64 3500+, but would like to know if this MoBo will support A64 x2 (or the latter support the first) ??? Have read somewhere that it will support Socket939


Any info appreciated

THX 🙂

Normally yes...AMD promised to 🙂
And I'm sure MSI will provide the BIOS update 😉

"In the majority of cases, you won't even have to use a different CPU cooler. The same goes for the eventual release of Athlon 64 X2 processors. Those will work in almost any socket 939 motherboard made in the last year or more with only a BIOS upgrade."

Thx for the info, can´t wait to get one of them, but surely I´ll wait to see some serious price drops , maybe in December or something.
