Hello, I am upgrading my Gateway DX-4200-09 with a RS780 motherboard with a AM2+ cpu socket I want to upgrade to a Amd AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor HDX945WFGIBOX,
I did some research and it says that am2+ sockets work with am3 CPUs but I want to make sure that is will work. Many forums said I would need to update the BIOS and how would I go about doing that?
