Quick mobo question, I need to double check.

Newegg.com - ASUS M2A-VM HDMI AM2 AMD 690G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

This mobo, can it use

Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X3 710 2.6GHz 3 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
or
Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X2 545 Callisto 3.0GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 80W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
?

no, newegg says the mobo is AM2 only.
CPUs are is am3.

And the item is deactivated.

A friends already got it, I was checking if it could work with AM3 also, can't though.

Thanks +1

i thought am3 cpu could go into a am2 or am2+ socket given a bios update.

The AMx line can go one step in either direction, not two (as far as I can remember).

I was unsure of this as well.
