AM2, AM2+ or AM3 ?

[TerryMatthiensen]

Hello,
I have a PC with an AMD Phenom 2.50 GHz CPU. Can anyone tell me how to tell if it is a AM2, AM2+, or AM3? I want to upgrade my motherboard to one with PCIe slots and a AM3+ CPU socket. I am told that AM2 & AM2+ will not work so I need to know what my existing on is. Thanks TERRY
