    CPU/Motherboard compatability?
    « on: August 19, 2013, 12:55:43 PM »
    I was wondering if there was any quad-core CPU out there that would be supported by a Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2  (AM2 socket) Motherboard?
    I know it's an older motherboard and highly unlikely but I thought it was worth a shot, thanks!

    Not sure.
    Maybe a AMD Phenom X4 1.8 Ghz Quad Core Socket AM2/AM2+ HD91500DJ4BGH CPU Processor

      If you head over to the product page on the manufacturer's website and click on Support & Downloads, then CPU Support list, you'll see a list of the supported CPUs, including a ton of quad and hex cores, and the BIOS version required to support each CPU.
      The Phenom X4 9150 referenced above is ancient and more than likely will be hard to find and/or expensive, especially given its mediocre performance.
