Will this work in and AM2/AM2+ socket (ASUS M2N-SLI, for which I can get the BIOS upgrade?

It will fit the AM2/AM2+ socket type. As long as the MOBO supports it, it will fit

Should work fine. Check this list to know better http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM3/M4A78LT-M_LE/AMD-DDR3-Memory-QVL.pdf

It should - this is an amazing mobo. 200% happy with it. Awesome bios features and high high high quality construction. The supported chip sets should be under the device specs

Sorry, I do not know, actually I still have my mine, it didn't work in my current MB, I need to get another MB, but not sure which one myself, I know the bio is different for this processor, that is why it won't work in my present MB, that has problems.

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+.

Yes, AM3 processors are forwards-compatible with the new socket AM3+. the Video card will work as well

Unfortunately no. It will only support AM2, AM2+ , AM3, and AM3+ chips.. http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/?cat=CPU

Yes but you would be happier with a gigabyte motherboard with 4 dim slots for more ram. Always match your cpu socket. Am3 + is your current motherboard socket.

HI Victor, To the best of my knowledge the processor should work. It is basically AM3 processor. Also it is rated at 95W which is also what the motherboard supports.

I have an AM3+ board, but for the compatibility please look for your board here: http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_gen&products;_id=37&lng;=es, or write an email to support@noctua.at.

Yes, it fit in my AM3+ processor, which is the socket type you need for that motherboard.

This processor will not work. If you look at the processor's specifications, it says it's a socket AM3.

That isn't really a question, so not sure exactly what information you are looking for. But, the m5a87 is a socket am3+ board, which is the socket type for this cpu, so they are compatible.

You should refer to the ASUS website support section for that answer. You will need to know the model and version number for your mobo.

The fx-8350 is an AM3+ socket and should work. However, my experience with this board is that I bought three of them, 2 I could not get the USB ports to work and the third would not operate at all. I then tried an ASUS board and had no issues at all.

This board will support up to a 125W TDP so it should be fine as long as you have the correct BIOS. Here is a link to check BIOS requirement: http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/M5A78L-M_LX_PLUS.html

Honestly ...I don't know ...you'd have to take the one you've got and see ...and if it's the same ...except of 1GB.....as long as it has the same number of Pins and everything ....it should work as long as you update your BIOS .......
