Motherboard can use what sockets?
Last response: in Motherboards
Hello all, I have a question concerning my motherboard. I want to upgrade the cpu on it but not sure what sockets it supports, this is because I can find the exact model of it. All I know is that it is a Nvidia chipset C51G that currently has a Athlon 64 x2 1.9Ghz in it. I know that my cpu is a AM2 but not sure If I could support a AM2+ or a AM3 (even though I highly doubt it). I was considering getting a Athlon II X3 440 Rana 3.0GHz as a quick fix. Here's a link to my computer if you would like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Im open to all advice in the matter as well. Thanks!![;)]( ";)")
