I currently have a Dell Insipron 531 with ASUS M2N61-AX motherboard socket am2 that I put in a thermaltake supranors case with a thermaltake 430 watt psu. I have a AMD X2 4000+ I would really like to upgrade it as high as possible without needing to flash my bios, I refuse to do that. I was reading that I can go all the way up to 6000+ but you need to flash the bios in order to do so, so what I am wondering is if with my motherboard what it will recognize by default I have had someone tell me that I might be able to run a X2 5600 without flashing but wasn't sure. I want to know for sure so that I can order it asap and know that it will work because if it doesnt I wont be able to return it to newegg and get my money back. I just want to do this while I save up for a new build with an i7 or something better but I just want this to hold on to while waiting, any help would be amazing.
Thank you
