Psycho-gHo Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 AM1 socket CPUs require AM1 socketed motherboards.AM3 socket CPUs require AM3 socketed motherboards.So, clearly, the answer would be NO. However, there are a few decent choices for motherboards in the AM1 category -- just not good for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PremiumMaster Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 I know that with a procedure called "CPU core unlock" (supported by my motherboard) I can transform X3 (3Cores) ------- > X4 (4 Cores)In this way it would change the situation?
