AMD Phenom on a M2N-SLI Deluxe board

[Yorcie]

Guys, will the above work straight out the box?

If not, what is needed to get it to work?

Cheers

Correct bios would need to be installed on the M2N-SLI, which would require a K8 AM2 chip installed to do, cheapy Sempron or the like would be enough.

Site confirms support, but as Emlyn said, you'll need a processor that it will boot with in order to flash the BIOS and use a Phenom.

Good news, new phenoms (B3 stepping) are nearly out! on preorder on OcUK. Also the other older ones are cheaper.
