No. The AM2 socket was designed by AMD in 2006 as a follow up to the popular 939 socket. Intel Processors will not fit into a AM2 Socket.
A. AM2 B. AM2+ C. AM3 D. Socket 940
Zalman, thermaltake.
Depends on what socket you get. Each may be different. E.G: LGA 771 LGA 775 LGA 1366 Socket 478 Socket 939 Socket AM2 Socket AM2+ Socket AM3
No, it's not.
No.
No. They both have totally different pin sizes and amount of pins. Socket AM2 has a lot more pins, socket a has 462 pins.
you will need to get pin count between your mobo and the processor you want to use Ok thank you, both are 940 pin AM2+ sockets are backwards compatible with both AM2 and AMD2+ processors. While AM2 sockets should be able to accept any AM2+ processor as well as AM2 CPUs, this usually is dependent on a BIOS upgrade of the system first, and many manufacturers have not provided such support.
The Socket AM3 Connector is compatible with the AM3 and AM3+ processors, but not AM2 or AM2+ processors, which have 940 pins instead of the 941 pins of the AM3/AM3+.
An AM2 Socket is a type of socket used by a Processor on a motherboard. These are AMD processors, as indicated by the "AM". When you buy a motherboard and processor you must make sure that they have the same socket and that your motherboard supports the processor you have chosen. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM2
Each motherboard possesses certain socket type, for instance, from Intel LGA 771, LGA 775, Socket 478, 604, Socket M and P, for AMD Socket 754, 939, 940, AM2, AM2+, Socket F and socket S1. Thus, when you are going to buy a motherboard you have to have or buy a CPU with the same type of socket. A CPU with one type of socket will not fit another type of socket!
The processors have 940 pins, but the AM2 slot on motherboards has 942 pin slots. For your question, 940 is the answer. A lot of tiny easy to bend pins..
