Will a AMD FX-4300 3.8GHz Quad-Core work on The H-Apricot-RS780L-uATX (Apricot) motherboard? Need to upgrade from single core, this one is cheap unused in my area.
 
Solution
nope, your motherboard only supports am3 socket cpus, and fx series are am3+ however, you can get a quad core phenom as long as it is 95 watts or lower.
