Hi there,Ace meimei has few n00b questions about AMD wanan ask sifu sifu guru guru here smile.gif

1:What is AM3? It using DDR3 or DDR2?
2: M2 and M2+ got any difference? Can M2+ processor run with M2 mobo? Can M2 processor run with M2+ mobo?
3: M3 mobo can run M2+ and M2 processor or not? M3 can run with M2+ and M2 supported mobo?
4: By looking at the back of the processor,how to differenciate M2,M2+ and M3?

Thanks guys for the time,really appreciate smile.gif

1. AM3 is AMD CPUs with both DDR2 and DDR3 controller.
2. M2 and M2+ got slight diff. For M2+ cpu running on m2 mobo, u need to refer to cpu support list. But all m2 cpu can run on m2+ mobo.
3. A real M3 mobo can't run M2+ cpu. Real M3 mobo means come with DDR3 slots. Since M2+ cpu has DDR2 mem controller only, it wont run on M3 mobo. However, there r a few mobo manufacturers rebranded their mobo as AM3 but only have DDR2 slots (Asus has one i think?).
4. Can tell by CPU model names.
