Thanks for the valuable inputs.

I found this link helpful - MSI lists of Phenom II X6 compatible motherboardsand MSI Events Link




I dont want to upgrade BIOS as soon as I unpack my MOBO. It involves lot of expertise. I want my mobo with ready-to-go features.


And Once again the whole list is making me confused. Can you guys suggest a good motherboard from this list. Pref. is On Board Graphics, Firewire, Esata. I wud like to add a good graphics card within couple of months.

Thanks again sam

ASUS has issued bios update for all M4A series mobos. My mobo M4A785TD V EVO officially supports X6. No news on MSI and Gigabyte yet

well partially. cause IGP can be used for gaming but at low resolution. running low resolution in a 22incher will give BAD PICTURES. thats the only reason. u can OC the IGP a bit, ~300Mhz over stock but still u'll not be able get any playable FPS.

MSI will update the BIOS of the new boards. however if the board is a bit old, u'll hav to downland new BIOS & update it manually.

For BIOS update, let me know, will give you a good flash utility from the official MSI forums. It is good. Do not worry. BIOS should always be flashed, once system is up and running.

price of Sapphire HD5670 512Mb is 5.2-5.5k. price of 1Gb version is ~6.5k.

also if u decided go for a graphics card, lately, its unnecessary expense to buy a mobo with sideport memory. also by end of April, 880G/870X motherboards should be freely available. may look out for them. even if they cost 200-300 bucks more, its sensible buy one of those. u'll get Sata 6Gbps. or if u sticking to 785G, get a bit cheaper one. maybe ECS/Bio* or MSI's entry level ones.

also about PSU, i think its better if u upp it to FSP Saga II 500W or Seasonic S12-II 380W or even Corsair CX400W. even if u don't have any upgrade in your books, it'll help. all these PSU cost ~2.8k

Buddy Sam.Shab's config is pretty good. Go with the x6 as its a lot future proof and yes it generates a lot less heat than the denebs.

For gaming you need a separate gpu as the onboard graphics juat doesn't cut it.Invest in a 5670 or 5750 based card and you're good to go.

Guys, Trust me.......... this proccy is a Monster. I must say that when tested the System after assembling, It froze up on the welcome Screen.

My IT guy already gave me the Updated BIOS. I only had to flash it from BIOS using QFLASH. Update was smooth and then it detected everything.

I have already started working on SONY VEGAS. Encoding is really fast.

Can't get the Front AUDIO OUT to work... Any suggestions ???
