new cpu older motherboard

i got a new cpu but have a MOBO that does not support it. Is it possible to find an update for it?

If the socket is incompatible, no. Which motherboard and CPU are in question?

Depends on mobo/CPU.

Its a gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H and I'm going from a quad core AMD 3.4 ghz to an eight core AMD 3.1

They are incompatible. Here is the complete list of CPUs that work with that motherboard: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3475

Wouldn't personally upgrade to any of those as it wouldn't be much of an 'upgrade'. Your best bet is to get a new motherboard altogether.

Well guess I'm getting a new board then. Any ideas if I'm going from a mid tower to full that supports AMD 8 core?

You mean you want a recommendation on a larger than standard ATX motherboard? Or you want me to recommend you a full tower case?

Sorry, but I don't think there are any E-ATX or XL-ATX motherboards for the 990FX chipset. Have you bought the CPU already?
