Dual Core to Quad Core, Just CPU Change?

[GraMar]

Hi,

I have an M2N68 Plus Motherboard currently fitted with an Athlon II x2 245 CPU. (4GB RAM)

The manual says that this board will handle processors in this range: AMD® Phenom™ II/Athlon™ II/Sempron™ 100 Series Processors (AM3 CPU)

Could I simply fit a Quad Core Phenom II CPU instead of the Dual Core Athlon?

As long as the CPU you want is listed here then it will be fine: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68_PLUS/HelpDesk_CPU/
