Yeah, current AMD7 series chipsets are supposed to support Thuban (6 core CPUs) with a BIOS update to Socket AM3+ (code name AM3r2)
Though, Bulldozer is still up in the air as far as it being on an existing socket or being a new socket.
Either way, the E65 is a decent board. The BIOS isn't great, and it lacks a CPU-NB Voltage option last time I saw (launch BIOS so that might have changed)
I can say it's biggest flaws are
-No CPU-NB Voltage Option
-Issues with high HT Clocks (above 250mhz on a CPU that does 285 easy)
-Only 4 SATA ports
-Vdroop
Biggest Pro's though
-Nice PCI layout
-Right Angle SATA ports
-VRM/MOSFET cooling
-Secure NB cooler
Many 785G boards came with a loose NB heatsink IMO as they used plastic pins, but the MSI board was the one I got to review that didn't have a loose heatsink.
