You need to specify the motherboard model, and revision.

The only limits I can see are bios, as the cpu has to be supported in all his features, and wattage your motherboard can supply to the cpu, as not all motherbaords can give up to 125W to the cpu.

One more step.

my motherboard is MSI K9N6PGM2-V

Pretty much full of options for an upgrade.

As I said, be sure to buy a version that isn't 125W, or it won't work.
Ask the seller or check the cpu code in cpu-world's database, or at amd's site.

Happy upgrade

so..if i want to change my processor..what type of processor will you suggest...for best performance...

[D.8080]

phenom II x4 910e

You should google to find if anyone has tried anything better than that, trying the name of the motherboard + the cpu in the phenom II range you might like to have.

That you must do alone

May the force be with you!

There are details written on the side of the psu, please report them.

Like 12V 5V and the corresponding Amperes and wattage.
