The description states this is a 'Socket AM3'. Would that also mean it is a 'Socket AM3 941?

Yup. AM3 has 941 pin sockets. Works in same motherboard as a Phenom-capable one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM3 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athlon_II

You know, I never thought of that. Any processor that is socket-compatible should work UP TO its rated speed (I wouldn't ever overclock anyway-I used to work for Intel & they sometimes locked the processor against overclocking, or used to).

No, the AM1 platform is a new platform. You have to buy a new motherboard for this CPU. If you still use AM2 motherboard I recommended to upgrade your system if it needs. Socket AM1 is smaller than Socket AM2. Beside, do not be confused with Socket A CPU.

Compatible with motherboards with an AM2+ or AM3 socket, He used a AMD Athlon II x4, which is a AM3 socket, but because of the power supply they maintained the 95w and not the 125w in the AMD CPU HDZ955FBGMBOX Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz AM3 125W. The next question, will be the size of your power supply? Keep it within the 95w mark or upgrade the PS to allow the 125w either way from the information I located the socket is an AM3 so it would work. Make sure your BIO's is upgraded before install, as I found many issues that would not understand the new cpu.

It is 1155. They just show other similar boards and even though this is the older socket type it's still compared to the newer 1150

No, it only supports Opteron socket C32. AM3+ chips are completely different.Hope this helps.Jose SeisdedosTitanus Computerswww.titanuscomputers.com

No it is not, this is an FM1 chip. I am not aware of any AMD APU that works in AM3 or AM3+. Here is some info on this chip and socket type: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-A6-Series%20A6-3500.html http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20FM1.html

Yes it sould work with any AM2 socket motherboard I put mine in a insprion 531s hope everything works out for ya.

Yes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM3#Compatibility"As AM3 processors also support DDR2, they are backwards-compatible with Socket AM2/AM2+, contingent upon a BIOS update for the motherboard. Manufacturers including Asus,[6] Gigabyte,[7] and others have labeled existing AM2/AM2+ boards as being "AM3 Ready" or similar, indicating that BIOS support is provided for the specified boards. This allows existing AM2/AM2+ systems to upgrade the CPU without having to upgrade any other components."Older CPU's can't go into the next newer AM socket motherboards, but the newer AM socket CPU's are backward compatible to the older sockets for AM2 and AM2+.

hello friend, I'm sorry but this is MOBO for AMD processors, not Intel i54460

Sorry for the delay. The e-mail initiating this conversation when to my non-main e-mail. Nope. This is an FM2 socket, which is incompatible with AM3+ chips (read: anything Phenom). You'd need to specifically buy an AMD APU (Specifically the AMD A#-5#### or A#-6#### series processor).Hope that makes sense.

You should be looking at the MB socket number, not the CPU model; but yes, it will.
1024240
Yes. It is an AM3 or AM3+. I have an Athlon II 260 in my other computer and I remember it being an AM3 type.
351301
Not really, unless your motherboard explicitly states it is an "AM3/AM3+" one.
1777936
You would probably have to check to see if it's the same socket and visit the AMD and Asus website.
1788344
Yes. This one is just all one piece while the other is two. As long as your cpu is AM3+ of course
1882489
no that one i got is for am3 and ddr3 memmy .. i used arock mother board.... am 2 is older gen.cpu from 4 or 5 years ago//// look for a used pull that takes that cpu
2071237
I would imagine so, it says it's AM3+....if you bother to read the description
