What are the specifications of your present motherboard? We need the make and model of the motherboard.

i guess from my understanding i need to figure out whether or not my BIOS can support this?

but i dont know how to figure this out, im looking to buy today if i can do this.. my local store closes in 40 minutes so if someone can help out quick i would appreciate it greatly

We need a link to the motherboard and what Phenom are you using?

Your mobo only supports up to a am2 proc. no am3 or am2+

You will need new mobo if you want Phenom

I am running a ASUS M2N SLI-Deluxe AM2 and I was running a AM2+ Phenom X4 9600 and just flashed my board for AM3 and am going to run a Phenom II X4 945. =D

***Thanks to StrangeHold.
