I have Athlon II X2 240 but i want to upgrade it and i cant find AM2 quad core CPU so i need to buy AM2+ CPU. So i just wanted to ask will it work.
 
Solution
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.

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?
