will am2

Yes. But check the "cpu support" section to be sure your bios version supports the cpu. Am2+Am3 boards use ddr2 only but work with both am2+ and am3 cpus up to a certain wattage, depending on the motherboard chipset; Am3 boards use ddr3 only, so am2 or am2+ cpus won't run on am3 boards. Make sense?
