Accordng to the ASUS website, if you apply BIOS 5001 you can use Socket AM3 CPUs on the M2N-E motherboard.
I have two of these boards that are working. The CPU support info on the ASUS site says you can use ATHLON II X2 CPUs, Athlons II X3, and even Athlon II X4 CPUs.
These CPUs seem to be readily available at reasonable prices. There are some that consume as little as 45 watts.
The notes say "Due to Bios ROM size limitation remove LAN PXE ROM and change Crashfree3 to Crashfree".
I assume these are options in the BIOS setup you can change,
Has anyone done this and what method did you use to flash the BIOS? Apparently there is some ASUS software to do this.
Grateful for any tips!
