680i from Asus and DFI get 'Yorkfiled' support

NordicHardware reports.
Good news for owners of either the DFI NF680iSLI-T2R or the Asus Striker Extreme, the two boards graced with Quad-Core Penryn support, previously thought not possible. The BIOSes are still beta only and not for all of Asus's 680i boards but, since they share design with the Striker Extreme, it should only be a matter of time until the others also get support.

Support on these boards is possible because, contrary to what was previously reported, the incompatibility problems are due to the boards layout and not the chipset itself. Asus and DFI both used custom layouts, so they were able to provide support.
