I purchased a Phenom II x 4 955 Black Edition. It is an AM3 Socket.
What category of motherboards do I look at? Am I only looking for AM3 socket compatibility?
Or does the motherboard have to say "CPU Type: Phenom II x4"? (shopping around at newegg).
Another way of asking the same question :
Can my processor work on a motherboard that has an AM3 socket, but it says
"CPU Type: Phenom II / Athlon II / Sempron 100 Series"
