Hello, I'm replacing my motherboard, but not my CPU and I really have no idea how to tell if they are compatible or not. This is my current CPU . AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus Quad-Core 3.0GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor. Could you tell me what specs I should be looking for in a motherboard to make sure they are compatible. Thanks.

The Athlon II X4 640 is a mild CPU that will be compatible with ALL current AM3+ motherboards. You will have a big selection to choose from. It also works with older AM3 motherboards that may no longer be available for sale.
