Will a AMD Phenom II X4 940 work in AM3 MB?

[chedderslam1976]

I currently have a AMD Phenom II X4 940 and need a new motherboard. Will it work in an AM3 board or do I need one that supports AM2+?

Amd 2+ works with ddr2. Am3 works with ddr3 only. Check your board on the manufacturer's website for "cpu support" and see if you may need to flash the bios for newer cpus.
