Hi,

Anyone know if the Shuttle SN68SG2 barebones box supports AMD's new AM3 socket processors?

I did a quick Google search but couldn't find anything.

Thanks :)

Found this CPU support list, may help, but I only see AM2 in that list:

Thanks for that. It's just because I've heard that AM3 CPUs are backwards compatible with AM2. Don't know if that is true or not.

AM2 can support AM3 if the Motherboard has a bios update that will recognize it. Only newer boards can, and I have no clue whats in that shuttle.

From what I read its using a customized MB so that would mean you have to ask shuffle if they are gonna release an update...
