<"After talking with FIC, they've let us know that their SD-11 motherboard is incompatible with AMD's Athlon 650 processor">

"Incompatible"? ...
Translation: we (FIC) cannot afford to spent extra
50c for better MOSFET switches in our on-board power
supply, therefore our PS sucks and can't hold extra
two amps for higher frequency processors....

Workaround: Skip 650 and wait for 700+ true 0.18
Athlons :)
