Last week we showed you the first screenshot of the Agena K10
CPU. You can read all about it here. Now we are ready to disclose a bit more details about the machine. Believe it or not, the future generation AM2 CPU will run at
today's motherboards, the Nforce 590 SLI to be more precise.
The amazing 3.05 GHz overclock
from last week was done on a retail available motherboard from one of their manufacturers.
The machine was running a quite usual memory setup with 2x1 GB
of DDR2 memory. So the good news is that you don’t need to swap your
motherboards, you just need abios update and your AM2 boards should be able to cope with
Agena processors.
Even the overclocking was done on Nforce 590 SLI motherboard
and not on Wahoo or Mako next generation chipsets. Agena FX is the first one, coming in Q3, and Agena will
follow at later time.
