I have a Socket AM2+ motherboard but ive been reading that am3 sockets will also fit am2's. I'm just needing a cheap processor for around 100 and under. Really i need it to last me 6months till i have the cash to build my own. I'm needing 2.6ghz or higher
 
Solution
it depends on the bios updates to the am2+ board. generally asus keeps their boards alive for years with bios updates, no one else really does. So if it's an asus board chances are there is some support for a AM3 chip. that said a PhII x4 940 is a AM2+ chip and likely will work.
