hi i have a gateway dx4200-09

after careful web searching i found it has an am2 socket and is micro atx.
i saw another thread on this and was wondering if this is a good mobo and will it fit in this tower. i know the ports in the back are different but i need the size to fit. thank you

here is the board(s)

All of these will work. If you want to reuse your cpu. If you want to upgrade, you don;t HAVE to get a fm2+. You can go AMD or Intel too. However, if this is OEM, a mobo change might render the computer useless because it is configured specifically for those parts. Check thee pc site to see if it is possible.
