No, you absolutely can not put a socket 7 CPU into a Socket AM2 motherboard. Go to your motherboard maker's website with your model of motherboard, there you should be able to find a list of compatible CPUs for your use. The bottom line is that you will have to get a new processor for the motherboard. Good luck!
