    Hardware compatibility?
    « on: June 21, 2008, 08:30:23 AM »
    O.K so I was getting my son a new computer for his birthday and I went to power it up and nothing comes to the monitor.  I've tried swapping out the parts I could and when I replaced the amd phenom black edition 9850  with an older amd athlon 5200+ dual core it works fine.  The motherboard I'm using, from what I've read on it, is an EGS geforce6100sm-mv:1.0 ht2000.
    Is this motherboard not going to support an am2+ socket proccessor like the amd phenom black edition?  I know the amd 5200 is only am2 but I was under the impression that the only difference between am2 and am2+ was hypertransport 2.0 and 3.0.  If you need any more information I forgot to post tell me.
    Failure is not an option -- it comes bundled with Windows Vista.
