Yep, they have ssse3. I was fairly sure the CPUs would work but what I'm not really sure about is the new motherboards. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the sb700, 710, and 750 southbridges worked with just ahci. Will the new sb850 be the same? It's native Sata 6gb/s so I'm guessing it won't. There is however a few 880g boards with sb710 southbridges that should work fine.
