Complete list of processor support from ASRock
Now we can find out which older boards support the latest Intel and AMD processors.
First come the Phenom-enabled chips, which include gems such as the nForce3 250 or the M1695 chipset, which was born as ULi but later transformed into NVIDIA. Furthermore, the good news is that chipsets blessed with an integrated graphics controller, which is currently a hit, have also been included in the list.
Phenom X4:
