From: John Smith on
My M2N board is not on the list of boards with support for AM2+ cpus
like the phenom quad. And there is also no BIOS update to support AM2+.

Do you think that it will work without a dedicated BIOS? Currently I
have the newest M2N BIOS v0807. What will happen if I install e.g. a
phenom CPU anyway?

I know that I could get one of these board which supports AM2+ but I am
just curious if anyone has tried this (and - of course - I hesitate to
go through all of the efforts changing this rock solid mainboard)

Note: I am talking about a pure M2N board without any "extensions" in
its name a la "SLI Deluxe" or something like that. It is just a pure M2N.
