ASUS K40AF (K40AB rev 2.1) CPU TURION P540

[Najmod]

I would like to ask, what type of CPU that is supported on ASUS K40AB laptop? The official ASUS say it supported up to Turion 64 X2 Ultra ZM-84, but does that mean it include the Engineering Sample CPU as well? I would like to buy this to replace existing Athlon 64 X2 QL-64

The link to the BIOS is here

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance

theres no reference to Engineering Sample in the AGESA module where the supported cpu strings are so i would presume the answer is a no. However, the only way to be really sure would be to try it.

We can always try taking the microcodes out of a different bios that supports the engineering samples then replacing the microcode in your bios

This mod support only Turion II PXX cpu? Triple and quad cpu's did't work?

If you can boot with triple or quad CPU's then make new TXT-report of CPU-Z.
