Oh yeah, (LOL) I forgot to scroll back up and read the intro. I wouldn't have the faintest idea if that board would accept the Phenom X4 9550. I can't find anything on the old acer aspire x1300. The CPU seller pays for returns however, so you are good there if you want to chance it.

Btw, I just found out I have a Phenom X4 9550 sitting in my collection. Thanks for reminding me.


It will work as sure as the GT 730 would. But apparently you aren't planning on gaming? Because the 730 is the bare minimum you'd want to use depending on your screen resolution. The 730 DDR5 is at best, a 720p card. The 720 DDR3 is about half as fast.
 


AM2+ is simply the socket. The actual motherboard will determine if yours will support that CPU. Even if it does, it may require a BIOS update which may or may not be available. Is this a pre-built PC? Dell, Gateway, HP, Compaq?
