I'm wonder if a am3 processor can work in my am2+ mobo.

Do I have to update the bios or is the mobo too old to update?

Can anybody find the update bio page of they can too

AM3 CPUs are designed to work in AM2+ boards. Its up to HP to support it with a bios update. Check the supported CPU list on their support site.

Here's a hint, go to the page you linked and scroll down an inch or two to the "supported processors".
