multiprocessing not supported

[marindy]

I have a Asrock n68 Vs3 motherboard and have been looking for a AMD CPU, I have found a few compatible but find the statement *multiprocessing not supported*. How important is this, I use the pc for browsing an a few games but would like to increase from 1core to 4 core or above hopefully to increase performance as pages and start up times are slow

There are two versions of the N68-VS3. There is an FX version and a UCC version. Both versions support Phenom II X6 (six core) CPUs. That is a multi-core CPU. You should be able to do anything with a Phenom II X4 or X6.

Yes, thanks I can see that but on all of them it says multiprocessing not supported and I don't know how important multiprocessing is, I also looked at fx800 and fx6000 series which are compatible with motherbpard (FX series) but they also say multiprocessing not supported. Thanks for your reply (hopefully) in advance

Can you provide the link you are referring to? I don't see that anywhere on the vendor's website -- http://www.asrock.com/mb/nvidia/n68-vs3%20fx/#Specification
Also only a very few FX CPUs are listed as supported on the vendor's website -- http://www.asrock.com/mb/nvidia/n68-vs3%20fx/#CPU

I don't trust any CPU support besides what the vendor lists ....

http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/AMD/FX-Series/index.html I then went into fx8100 then into compatible motherboards and checked that asrock n68-vs3 fx was there

The vendor does not list the FX8xxx CPUs as compatible. I wouldn't trust any other source.

thanks I will go by your solution as it makes sense but the question really was about multiprocessing not supported and how important this is

I can not find that term anywhere I look in your link. Multiprocessor support would mean two CPU sockets IMO. "Multiprocessing" doesn't mean anything to me. I think you are focusing on the wrong aspect.
