a link to a bios download may help us identify whether we could try a bios mod to add support

Thanks

Max, You will find the BIOS on ACER's support-site when it is there.
But I think you can see (same as me) that
there
is actualy only a message:
Updating an incorrect BIOS may cause harm to your system. We recomend that you only do this after being instructed by one of our Customer Care representatives. By using these updates you agree to accept the possibility of product failure.

so it is possible to mod my bios for am3, i am aware that acer doesnt support am3 for my bios with their most recent bios update, i had a long talk with one of their support members.

so, do i have to purchase a new motherboard that supports am3?

i just am unsure about my options, And i can refer to my motherboard as ro1-a1 for now on? Also if no am3 support is available is am2+ support possible?

thankyou i greatly appreciate the help
