Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP-940 compatability

[therealmitchmoyars]

in short I just wanted to know is the GA-K8NNXP-940 supported the Opterons as well as the Athlon 64fx. I know it's a 940 pin socket board but I wasn't sure if the bios supported the opterons. The website doesn't say but is heavily marketed towards the FX and not the Opterons. Does anyone know for sure... as in you have acually plug an Opteron into this board and it identified it ok and runs good? Thanks in advance....

Here's a review - Gigabyte K8NNXP-940: Basic Features

Gigabyte uses the nVidia nForce3-Pro150 single-chip solution on the K8NNXP-940. While the nF3-150 and nF3-Pro150 are currently limited to 600MHz HyperTransport, communication to the FX processor is direct and not bottlenecked by slower speed chip communications in traditional north/south bridge chipsets. The nF3-150 is used on motherboards designed for the single-channel Socket 754 Athlon64, while the nF3-PRO150 is designed for the Dual-Channel Opteron or Socket 940 FX51.

I read the article but it isn't mentioned anywhere if it supports the Opterons. I know it's aimed at the FX but it would be really nice if it supported the Opterons as well. I wish gigabyte would divulge that information.
