Old Motherboard - CPU Support.

[MiOB]

Hey mates,

I've this old motherboard, Abit AN8 - Nforce4 chipset.
On Abit's CPU Support list, it states the motherboard supoorts AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ of E4 stepping (Manchester), while 4400+ of E6 stepping (Toledo) is supported, then 4600+ is again E4 and 4800+ is E6.

Do you think 4200+ of E6 stepping would also work? or 4400 of E4 stepping?

Cheers.

afaik it will support any 939 CPU (incl. Opterons).
