hi there ...
i checked some cpu-z screens of phenom II processor .. in socket it says AM2+ does that mean my current motherboard that based on A790GX chip .. will support this processor ? may be after any bios update ? I checked motherboard site .. it says AM3 ready ... Wth !? they say this board is ready for Future AM3 processors .. can anyone explain me this ? coz i think the latest chip should be able to give some further support . |

Yes it should support after a BIO's upgrade. I believe AMD is releasing two types of their new CPU's, some for the AM2+ boards and the new AM3 boards.

This is a very smart business move on AMD's part, bios updates to run the 920's and 940's on AM2+ platforms. AMD realizes there are tons of us waiting for a good cpu to replace existing Athlon and Phenom I cpu's. As long as your mobo supplier has done the legwork, good to go.
Next year the new AM3 boards and cpu's will be released. |

Our old mobo's won't support AM3. What AMD did is let us fit the Phenom IIs in AM2+ sockets.

AM3 must be 940 pins just like am2, just the main difference is ddr3...I don't know, unless they plan to release an adapter or something for it.
