    Will these 2 go together:

    In other words, will that mobo take an AM3 CPu?

    Many thanks

    The top one is a AM3 capable board.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Top link is for the CPU.

    So, the motherboard is AM3 compatable?

    So it is, my bad (mega embarrassment)

    Socket AM3 cpu's do work with AM2+ motherboards but the motherboard may require a BIOS update.

    Check the website of the mobo manufacturer for compatible CPUs; don't get it if it is not listed!

    Thats not entirely true though as i have bought a couple of CPU's in the past that weren't on the manufacturers Compatible list and had no issues.

    They're pin compatable. AM3 has less pins than AM2+ but may be a bit glitchy. Personally I'd go for an AM3 board though I guess you were thinking of using ddr2 rather than AM3 DDR3 ?
