Will the current 939 boards work with dual core?

[Bungarian]

I want to get a new 939 board with a 3000+ and then next year sometimes upgrade with dual core. Can I use the same motherboard and just get a new CPU and flash the bios? If not I will wait.

They are supposed to work.... but you will never know for sure until they are released.

No new chipset needed?

No.

AMD's dual core socket 939 processors were also running in a back room on ASUS' A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboards - without modification. Although we had known for some time that dual core would only require a BIOS update on AMD motherboards (at worst), the knowledge that off-the-shelf motherboards running AMD's newest gave us a further boost of confidence for the future. This is also in stark contrast to Anand's report that Intel dual-core will not run on current 915/925 chipset motherboards.
