Thread, Bit of a negative news from Anand's site. "After talking with FIC, they've let us know that their SD-11 motherboard is incompatible with AMD's Athlon 650 processor. After testing various combinations at our offices, we found the processors to randomly reboot when loading up Windows, and sometimes not booting at all. GamePC has withdrawn this combination from our website until a workaround has been issued. FIC has let us know that there will be a new BIOS out to fix this problem soon. The SD-11 still runs perfectly fine in Athlon 500, 550, and 600 MHz processor configurations." This is probably not too bad in the sense that it is only one speed grade and since most of the 650s go to IBM/Compaq/Cybermax and none of them use FIC for motherboards as far as I can tell. Negative nonetheless.
