Athlon 64 X2 and AM3 Mobo

[claupro]

Hello,
I am reading all kind s of conflicting info. Will an Athon 64 X2 work in a AM3 Mobo?

Is that one of the Manchester or Toledo Athlon 64 X2 CPUs?

No it won't, they don't have a DDR3 memory controller and the pin layout is slightly different to prevent it from fitting. You need an Athlon II/Phenom II for AM3 motherboards.
