New CPU for motherboard.
Last response: in Motherboards
According to CPU-Z I have an PCChips a15g It says v2.0. So it should be this one, although I am not sure since the v1 and v2 looks exactly the same.

Anyway, I'm using a dual core and wanted to upgrade to a quad, but the quad core says 125w so I'm not sure if it's compatible with my MB.

Is there any way to be 100% sure that I have the v1 or v2, and will the CPU work fine if I buy it?

if its telling you 2.0 it probably is... it has no reason lying to you ![;)]( ";)")
but check this page out http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/productinfo/MB.htm#ver_mb#v...
about the quad core, your MOBO should be compatible since it's AM2+

Thanks for the replies so far.
I opened up my box to make sure which MB I have, and despite CPU-Z telling me I had the v2.0, the writing on the board itself says 1.0, But next to the CPU pin connector it does say AM2+ which means that the CPU will work without a hitch right?
My PSU is a 750W, so it should be fine then.

I was under the impression that phenom II would work in any motherboard that a Phenom would. Since it says socket am2+ and even the v1 has phenom quads listed as supported I think I'll take the chance and order it next week. If it fails I'll leave the cpu to sit in its box until I can afford a new motherboard. Thanks for your help Richdrizzy
