Hi,
I am new here. I have searched google but ended up with no results. I have an Asus M2N68-VM motherboard with an AMD triple core 8450.
I want to swap the processor into an Athlon II X2 255. I have looked into the manufacturer's website and the Athlon II X2 255 isn't on the compatibility list. The closest to it is an Athlon II X2 250e and 260.
The thing that i thought was that as long as they have the same socket (am2+) then it should work?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
Update: I just read that the Athlon II X2 255 and the Athlon II X2 260 have the same CPUID : 100F63 for what it's worth.. They are also both 65W.
