So, I swapped out an old AMD athlon 64 for an X2, and it's saying processor model unknown. But it seems to work fine..so..weird. Maybe because it's an OEM part? o.o
@elastimouse How old is the BIOS? :o
@pettancow Over 10 years old! Last update was in late 2007!
@elastimouse Ahh :o How interesting! I wonder what the processor model is.

@pettancow AMD Athlon 64 X2. From my research, it's an OEM model. Dual core with 2.7 Ghz per core.
@elastimouse That'd definitely do it, yeah. It doesn't surprise me either that ASRock fell off on updates. Admittedly, the date made me almost wonder earlier if ABit had made your board, since they shuttered around that time.
@pettancow This might be a key reason. The CPU in question was released in April 2008, and the last BIOS update was in late 2007, August. Thanks, ASrock!
