Hi Guys,
I'm thinking of getting of Phenom II x3 710. Will it be able to work on my existing AM2 Motherboard ?
I have Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2 & ASUS M2N-MX here with me?
Regards,

yes ... it should. AFAIK am3 cpus will work on am3 mobos which will have ddr3 ram, and they will work on am2 boards as well with ddr2 ram.
other xperts confirm please.

'Official' support is for AM2+ boards. AM2 boards are likely to support the AM3 proccys though.

Kudos to gigabyte for enabling am3 support in bios for an ultra cheap mobo. Asus has done this for their mid/high end boards. The ultra cheap
M2n-MX SE supports am2 only
M2n-MX SE PLUS supports am2 and am2+ 65nm phenoms upto the 9950X4.
Haste, if you can get the am3 cpu working ... brilliant choice of mobo! ;)
