AM2 vs. AM2+
Will an AM2+ processor fit in an older board with the AM2 socket?

Re: AM2 vs. AM2+
Look up your motherboard and it should say wether it supports the cpu.

Re: AM2 vs. AM2+
Yea, an AM2+ CPU will fit on a AM2 motherboard. The sockets are identical and they are fully compatible with AM2 boards. The only real differences are the AM2+ runs Hypertransport 3.0 and have a split power plane for improved power savings.
