I am the *proud*? owner of a Compaq SR5110NX with the ECS MCP61PM-HM Motherboard in the standard Iris configuration. I also have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 ADA5600IAA6CZ processor that I purchased by mistake recently and was wondering if the motherboard BIOS could be modified to:
A) Accept this processor or
B) Should I just go out and buy a Nettle3 motherboard?
I understand that the motherboard is supposedly maxxed out at 65 watt and the processor is an 89 watt but the motherboard is pretty much the same in the Iris, Iris8, Nettle, Nettle2 and Nettle3 configurations and I see that you have enabled the Iris8 to accept up to a 6000. Am I just wasting my (and your) time or is this possible to do? Just for the heck of it I plugged the CPU into the motherboard and when I booted it up I got the Unrecognized CPU message.
Thank you,
Jim
