I have an am2+ AMD phenom II X4 processor and I'm about to buy a new motherboard.
Look at this motherboard, for example:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/K10N78/
it states:
- Support for Socket AM2+ / AM2 processors: AMD Phenom™ FX / Phenom / Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core / Athlon X2 Dual-Core / Athlon 64 / Sempron processor

My cpu, while having an am2+ socket, doesn't belong to any of the categories listed (I can see Phenom, Athlon 64 fx, Sempron ecc but not AMD Phenom II).
Is my cpu supported anyway, just because it is am2+? Or do I have to search for a motherboard that specifically supports AMD Phenom II series?

As cin19 stated, check out the CPU support list. Still I'd go with a more recent mobo

My cpu is an AMD Phenom II X4 940. Of course I'd want a newer motherboard, that was just an example. Do you know any mobo I could buy? I'd also need it to support ddr2 800 ram.
