Hi to everybody, :hello:

i bought a Asus Crosshair III Formula that has the following description for CPU support:

AMD Socket AM3 ;Phenom™II /Athlon™II /Sempron™ 100 Series Processors
AMD 140W CPU Support
AMD Cool 'n' Quiet™ Technology
Supports 45nm CPU

My question is to know if i can put on this mobo any AM2+ and if can what is the difference between AM"+ and AM3.

Thanks in advance

JT

you can fit your current cpu in any compatible mobo but you have to consider that only patches will know exactly how to handle your processor .. but you have a previous processor so thats not a problemx are you having performance problems ? or why eactly change mobo and not cpu ?
