Asus M2A-VM HDMI (AMD690G)
Board revision:?
Installed BIOS: 0302 (2007-03-12)
Upgraded with: 1603 (2007-12-04)
This motherboard is a MicroATX model, which is based on AMD's 690 chipset with integrated ATI graphics. Different from most other compact motherboards for home or HTPCs, this one comes with both D-Sub and HDMI video outputs.
Again, the BIOS update worked and allowed us to use the Phenom processor.

spearhead too many vendors boycott the upgradebility they just dont want to release a simple bios update because they want to force costumers to buy a new motherboard. It would anger me i would have bought a am2 motherboard and the vendor was such a bastard to boycott the upgrade.today those bios updates are rare too find. So far i have only few vendors who upgrade there bios. Apperently ASUS support it the best so that is why i will choose ASUS above all those cheap bastards from now onReply
