yeah, mosox is right. if thats your board, it supports basically everything and you can get a triple core for just a few more bucks..why not? an extra core for ~$10 USD shouldnt break the bank. a better video card should be in the works for you, too. 8600gt is a mighty out-dated card.

But My motherboard doesnt support am3 processors. It only supports am2+ and am2.
For AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana I need bios version 1807. But for my motherboard a407 is the last version released by asus.
