M2A VM DVI has only AM2 nd only their HDMI versions has AM2+ as per Asus site.
And on the box of M2A VM DVI also says only AM2 nd no sign of AM2+.
And only M2N VM HDMI supports DDR2 1066 nd the DVI version supports only DDR 800

I heard from a nearby retailer that the spider platform graphic card(one 10.1 grafix card) can be arranged for Rs. 6k. It has similar performance(supposedly) to 9600GT. Is it worth it ? Because spider crossfire vs dual core is a topic to discuss when it comes to performance.

sry pal, I really meant M2N-VM HDMI not DVI.

BTW....u too may be feeling sleepy *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/28.gif.....u mentioned M2A-VM DVI instead of M2N-VM DVI and according to Asus site new M2A-VM DVI and HDMI supports AM2+..........

dude, when did AMD and ATi launched Spider Platform grfx cards???!!!:rolleyes:

Spider Platform is a combination of Phenom+ATi 7xx chipset+HD3xxx series GPU. This platform features AM2+ socket,HT3.0 and PCIe 2.0........and there is no such Spider platform gfx card!!! :D ;and it has nothing to do with "Spider Crossfire vs. Dual core" <-- BTW.....wat do u mean by this?? and watz this Spider crossfire?? and wat does it hav to do with dual core CPUs:shock: !!!

this solves everything

I have a hard time loading asus india page, so the above one is asus australia.:D

@metalhead
for 6k, it might be new HD 36xx series nd id cant match 9600,coz they are meant to replace HD 2600 series nd will outperform 8600GTS due to much higher clocks then 2600.
And HD 3xxx series performs better on spider mobos[bout 30%boost].

SO if MSI K9A2 CF is a cheaper one, then
MSI K9A2 CF + HD 3850 + Phenom 9500 will be a gr8 combo.
Phenom 9500 is for 9.6k on deltapage nd HD 3850 256 will be some 9k, as 3850 512 is now 10.4k.

Is this the same with Intel motherboards? Are they backward compatible? I mean do the latest motherboards from Intel support the LGA775 processors?
