It should, although it's not on the Supported CPU list.

The board supports up to 140watt CPU's.

i noticed that too, but i need conformation on this, dont want to buy a board for crossfire and have to shell out for a new cpu.

I would contact Asus directly.

No, your processor is AM2 and you've got an AM3 socket on that board.
If going with that board (like your heart is set on it) go for an athlon ii x3 or x4 or a phenom ii.
Also you'll need DDR3 ram.

Like said above. Your 940 is a AM2+ processor. The Asus is a AM3 socket. Wont work.
