Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2P nForce 430 (Socket AM2/AM2+) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Hi, I bought the "Titan Nero" desktop when it offered a 1024mb HD4850 with it, and it came with this motherboard. Once updated to the latest bios it says it is "AM3 Ready"

I was wondering which Quad core CPU I could place in my system if that's possible?

Shows this -

Here is the CPU support list -

Thanks

It says it supports the upcoming 45nm AM3 chips, which seems to be all the Am3's though I know it doesn't work with some surely.

I am currently using
a
AMD 7850 x2 Black Edition clocked @ 3.15ghz

It tells you at the bottom of that page you liked to which cpu's it will take. Gigabyte should know better than us.

Yeah, but it says
Fx = Since BIOS Version OK = Test OK! N/A = Not support "-" = Under Testing

Those are the keys for accepted.. but next to all the CPU's it doesn't have any of those
Just F2/3 or N/A

The F2, F3e etc is the bios version that you need to run those cpu's. As you have the latest you should be able to run all the cpu's on that list.
