How can I find out what socket type my motherboard is?
as megaspark says,the socket is a am2 ,this is one of two sockets used with a.m.d processors.the other being a socket 939 however although its right to think most athlon64 x 2 processors will be socket am2,they are also made for the socket 939,so its best check it with a diagnostic utility such as “sisoft sandra lite” from http://www.sisoftware.net/index.html?dir… using the motherboard information module check the socket for your specific board,while there its a good idea to check a few other specifications ,this is a great program,its got just about everything you can think off,and its great when you need to upgrade or repair a component as for decent upgrades,the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.20GHz (Socket AM2)(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc…
