will this APU work on old AM 2+ boards and whats the nanometter on the APU ?

The FM2+ is only compatible with boards clearly marked FM2+. The APU is not backwards compatible and will not fit into the socket of a standard FM2 board.

I doubt it. The memory controller is on the CPU and DDR2 support is not listed. DDR2 is pretty old now.http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/processors/amdfx/Pages/amdfx-key-architectural-features.aspx

If memory serves me correctly, these sticks will work with the latest I-7 chip to date when I ordered my set. I am running the AM3+ socket (AMD cpu) but the Mobo baby sits itself for the most part as far as initial settings. Do be careful to notice that the frequency of the ram is going to be listed for it's capable of on the stick but if you enter BIOS and see lower then the box states don't flip out. There is always a reason for this and it is usually due to the fact that the ram will only go as fast as the board allows with the initial stepping and voltage settings. If you want faster try the included automatic over clocking software included with the motherboard. :-) I hope this has helped.

I've read that this new part can draw slightly more power than the previous version, and that this change may require a corresponding BIOS update and/or render previous testing of older motherboards incomplete. Bottom line is I would look for some indication such as a statement from your motherboard vendor that it will be compatible.

Yeah it should work, Athlons use FM2 socket and in the description of the motherboard it supports AMD Athlon ^^

Yes! However, the memory may only operate up the the maximum speed officially supported by the APU you pair it with. Also. A little known limitation of the memory controller in the current generation of APUs, is that if all four memory slots are occupied then the memory will only run at 1333MHz.Using only one pair of slots (blue or black) will allow the memory to run at full speed.

It will work with your APU but instead of the on chip graphics accelerator. It will most assuredly give you better performance, however make sure you have an open PCI-E slot and at least a 400Watt PSU.

yes it does work on a amd motherboard the only complaint i have is the 5ghz radio goes to sleep after about 4 days of uptime.source: running this on a asrock extreme 3 770 with a phenom 840

NO! the MSI A88XM Gaming is a "Fusion" class MoBo for FM2 & FM2+ APU whereas the components you are discribing would be for AM3+... Additionally, as a long time AMD Solutions provider, I can tell you, as much as I like Nvidia, that running AMD video controller on AMD chipset is a stronger recipe for speed & stability! I would also encourage using AMD or Samsung SSD as primary boot & program drive... Hard Drives for BU and Game repository...

The AMD Sempron is advertised to work on a AM2+ or AM3 motherboard. It is not listed to work with a AM3+ motherboard.

Yes it is still compatible. Using 2400mhz RAM on a board with a lower speed just means that it will run at the slower speed.
927379
Yes, using the AM3 Socket, it will work. It may require a BIOS update, but it will work.

No, this board is only compatible with AMD processors, and then only AMD A series APU (such as the A6-5400k) processors.

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

It will only work with fm1 motherboards, fm2 motherboards only works with apu a10

This board only works with FM2 socket AMD processors. It does not work with the phenom processors. For that you need a board that has a AM3 or AM3+ processor socket.

Yes it will work just fine. I'm using this on a really old motherboard that uses 2.0
