For the past year or so, I've been using this ECS a780gm-a ultra. Its a decent motherboard, although there are many better. Well I was browsing the internet and someone was asking about using an am2 motherboard with current processors. Couldn't find a definite answer, but if my memory serves correctly, it should work, to some extent. Anyway, while doing all of this, I thought about my motherboard and what it could do. For some reason I thought "maybe it will support ddr3!" (I lol'd so hard after thinking that). Obviously it doesn't. I then when onto the processor, since i'm upgrading soon. Literally since I bought my current cpu, i've been thinking that my motherboard can only power a cpu up to 95w (don't know wtf was i thinking). I now realize (it even said it on my box) that it supports up to 160 watts! Oh god the facepalm i would have had if I noticed this after I bought another cpu :cursing:!
Any of you guys ever had moments like this?
Note: I now have an urge to buy a six-core processor, even though I won't need it:drool:

Really just depends on the transistors used, which in the case of ECS, is usually not of the highest quality.
