Hello, I'm trying to get a new motherboard for my computer. I have a AMD Athlon II x2 255 processor. I want to upgrade my motherboard from an EL-1352 to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157323&cm_re=motherboard-_-13-157-323-_-Product
I'm sure my set up is compatible as it is if I upgraded, but I plan on upgrading my CPU later. The CPU I'm thinking about is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113285
The reason I don't think it's compatible is because for CPU type for motherboard says Athlon II. I'm not 100% sure what that means. I was under the impression if it had the same slot you're good to go. Enlightenment would be appreciated here.
And a quick question about ram chips: in 2x240 and 4x240, does the 2 and 4 means the # of slots in the motherboard?
