I have a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H that I have had for years. I believe it is revision 1.1.

I need to upgrade the CPU for school I am currently running an X2 4400+ (2.3 ghz x2) I was hoping to go to the X4 Propus I am about to link. Will it work? Currently my CPU is getting 1.31V and it never changes.

I think the 3.0 ghz x4 would be more then enough to keep me going until I can afford to do a new build.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Yep - the X4 will work fine. Look around for a phenom also. If you plan to do any gaming, be sure to get an aftermarket cooler.

So do you think I can run any AM3? Because I will buy a better one. I have a use for it after I build a new one.

That m/b will handle up through X6 phenoms. Check on ebay, amazon or newegg for a 945 or 965 black - great cpu's.
