Solution Wisecracker Oct 1, 2014 AM3 CPUs have both DDR2/DDR3 support in the IMC, and your motherboard supports them. You may run AM3 PhenomII quads, and even Thuban hexcores in your motherboard.

You may run AM3 PhenomII quads, and even Thuban hexcores in your motherboard. Do i have to update bios or do something else or just put the cpu in socket and install driver? And if i want to buy AM3+ mobo i can use that CPU? Upvote 0 Downvote
