Can my Motherbraod support AMD CPUs?

[Guest]

Hi, so I have a ASUS P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard that supports LGA775 Processor. My budget is around 70$ or 4000 Rupees (I'm Indian).
I don't play heavy games or new games, I stick to Indie and Retro games. I Video Render sometimes and do some FL Studio Projects.
The problem is, I don't know if my motherboard can support AMD and Intel or just Intel. I'm a novice at these things so if I buy an AMD will it work in my mobo?

Any help will be appreciated.

Only supports Intel, not AMD.

it can just support intel .

and uses am3+ sockets with its fx 6 and 8 series

lga is genrally intel

i think the most your socket can support is a core 2 quad

Sorry but no.

no.

try geting the core 2 quad

if you need a better cpu a bigger budget(cpu+mobo change would be needed)

Are the Core 2 Quad still good for newer softwares, games etc?

it holds out. maybe you could game for 2 years in it @ cpu related settings at low

about softwares, esp rendering ones , the i7 are the beasts .for hobby work it is a bit old but sttill fine.

heck , most games like ME3,crysis2 run fine on my old core 2 duo
