Lol..
How can a AMD APU work on a Intel board?
Different sockets.

You are trying to put an AMD APU into an Intel Motherboard. This will never work as AMD APU/CPU's will only fit on AMD Motherboards, and this is the same for Intel.

You will have to get a new motherboard if you'd want to get an AMD APU.

As mentioned already, you will need AMD motherboard for AMD cpu/apu. APU needs FM1 motherboard. Here's the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 1&name=FM1

I do suggest holding off on buying one immediately. I believe that there's an update with phenom (2?) architecture. I'll wait for bulldozer-based apu, but I have no idea when that's gonna come out

For $250 you should be able to buy APU plus mobo plus RAM. That's what it will take to upgrade your rig.

thanks to all, as I said I never used an APU before, but I heard that AMD APU's are 32bit and they are little bit slower than phenom II chips,but I can wait for bulldozer apu,and I am eagerly waiting for Intel's Ivy-bridge processors i heard that these processors hybrid too, Once again thanks for all reply's some are rude, but thank u very much.

AMD CPUs/APUs will only fit in motherboards designed for AMD.

Intel CPU will only fit in motherboards designed for Intel.

Then you need to deal with the various socket types of the CPU. Not all AMD CPU use the same socket. Not all Intel CPUs use the same socket; in fact Intel changes sockets about every two years which is more frequently than AMD.

Just be aware that Ivy Bridge CPUs will be socket 1155 and is not compatible with your current motherboard.

It is called Trinity and it is not expected to be released until next year; probably around the same time as Ivy Bridge. Trinity will be using socket FMX.

:kaola: :pt1cable: I know the differences between sockets and boards, i have to change this thread name, and Intel releases mostly twice in a year a new mobo with different socket,

I am a hardware Administrator and Graphic Designer hope u understand.

yeah but i want to try these kind of hybrid PC's,any how I use A PC for its warranty period only, after that I sold them and buy a New one, And of course these Apu's don't need additional cooling and these are not power suckers,that's why I am interested in this , thanks for the reply. :love:
