September 27, 2011 - it is now possible to reply to comments. and the replies will always be displayed right under the parent post. To reply to any comment, move your mouse cursor over the post, and a "Reply" button will popup in the upper right corner of the comment title. Click on the "Reply" button to respond to that comment. This week I may tweak this feature a bit, but there won't be any major changes to the comment system in the near future.

April 18, 2011 - I started adding detailed specifications to Gigabyte motherboards. Like for ASUS boards, the specs will be added little by little, until all of them are complete. Once we get close to a hundred of motherboards with complete specifications, I will begin working on the next step, which will be a search page for specific motherboard feature(s).

April 16, 2011 - Manufacturer pages now show motherboard chipset, and a list of supported processors for each board. Unfortunately, this makes the pages at least twice as long as before. To rectify this, I'm planning to add filtering capabilities to manufacturer pages in the near future.

March 22, 2011 - I added more detailed specifications to some ASUS motherboard pages. The specifications show mainboard form factor, supported FSB, features, expansion slots, back panel and internal connectors, and on-board interfaces. As an example, see how it look on the ASUS P4P800S page. The specifications are not complete yet, and I'll be adding missing information in the course of next few days (or weeks). If this data turns out to be useful for site visitors, then I'll start adding board specifications for other manufacturers.

March 16, 2011 - CPU support pages, that show data for multiple PCBs, now have a filter that can limits displayed records only to specific PCB revision. See, for example, how it looks on the ASUS P5QL-VM EPU page. Clicking on the "ALL" link resets the filter, and displays all PCB revisions.

August 1, 2010 - We now have Recently added pages web page. It will shows all new pages added to the site, and the dates when they were added.

July 24, 2010 - I added Most popular motherboards and motherboard manufacturers page. The page shows 25 most visited motherboard pages, and popularity, based on the number of visits, of motherboard manufacturers presented on our website. Permanent link to this page is located in the lower right corner of the CPU-Upgrade front page.

Feb 7, 2010 - I developed a semi-automated method of matching support records to CPU part numbers. This helped me to reduce the number of unmatched records on the site from more than 10% to less than 5%. I hope that from now on I'll be able to keep up not only with cpu support updates for most of motherboard manufacturers, but also with part numbers' updates.

Jan 1, 2010 - I started adding CPU upgrade data for Soltek motherboards. Like in the case with Epox, adding Soltek data requires a lot of manual work, for that reason I will spread the work over the next one or two weeks.

Dec 26, 2009 - Starting this month, I will try to keep one-month update cycle for major motherboard manufacturers, such as ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte.

Dec 18, 2009 - I added CPU upgrade data for slot A and socket 462 Epox motherboards. Updating data for all Epox motherboards will require a good deal of manual work, therefore I will break it into a series of updates - one socket at a time.

Oct 6, 2009 - 45 or so Jetway motherboard names were corrected - previously they had Rxx (PCB revision) appended to the name, and not separated from the name by space.

May 13, 2009 - You can now search for full or partial motherboard name using "Search for motherboard name" tool.

April 25, 2009 - I tweaked website's look and feel:

  • Every page now has a search box in the top right corner
  • Every manufacturer and motherboard page now has a breadcrumb navigation - it allows easy access to parent pages of the current page.
  • Every motherboard page now displays last modified date in the right bottom corner of the page. This date shows when the last time new CPU support records were added to the page. The date doesn't change when new comments are added to the page, or when we add matching part numbers.
  • Not tested processors are now highlighted in the same way how we highlight processors that may not be supported by a motherboard.
  • Website's front page now includes "Search for CPU part number" feature. Use this feature to get a list of all motherboards that support specific part number.

April 20, 2009 - We changed the way how part numbers are linked on all CPU support pages. The new method of linking part numbers (using external javascript files) helped us to reduce the size of all pages by approximately one-third.

June 8, 2008 - More Intel motherboards were added to the site. Please note that the CPU support data for Intel motherboards still doesn't have information on the latest Intel microprocessors - Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, etc.

May 31, 2008 - We now have CPU support data for old Intel motherboards.

April 19, 2008 - CPU upgrade data on socket 775 and socket AM2/AM2+ Biostar motherboards was added to the site. Data on older Bisotar motherboards will be added in the few weeks.

About CPU-Upgrade.com
There are a few good motherboard databases on the net, but they lack one thing - they don't tell specifically what processors can be used in the motherboards. The purpose of CPU-Updgrade site will be just that - to host a motherboard database that will allow visitors to find out what processor upgrades they can use on their motherboards. The database is not going to list all motherboard features, or allow people to download BIOSes or manuals for different motherboards. Like I said, there are other good sites that have this information, so adding it to CPU-Upgrade database is very low-priority task for me.
