okay, this is whats going on:

i had a very nice graphics card upgrade a few days ago, and everything works fine
now i want to upgrade my cpu too in awhile
i have searched around a bit and researched, and found out about the socket of
a motherboard
via the program cpu-z i found out i have AM2 (940) socket
then i looked around for it on my favorite hardware shop site
and they had a really nice processor for my socket
but that one is quad core, and i currently have dual core
i found something about dual-quad core compatibility in motherboards
and i could not find anything on the internet about my motherboard

so now im asking if my motherboard can handle a quad core processor.

ask for any specs u need ^^

We'll need to know your motherboard model. PC Wizard should tell you the model (under mainboard tab) (if you have a factory-built computer like a Dell or HP, etc, please just post the model of it)

ok, mobo model is...

RS690M2MA-0A

ty for the fast reply

Why not just open the case and look at your mb? The brand name and model # are usually silk-screened on the board itself.
Software diagnostic apps are good however nothing replaces a look with the Mark I eyeball.

ohyea, brand name was FOXCONN

what do you mean? i have got it now? right?

[crjdriver]

OK, when I input that number at the foxconn site there are no results. Are you sure that is the model #?
I have not seen any foxconn boards that start with a model number RS. There might be some somewhere however I have never seen any.

im pretty sure that is the motherboard model...
any difference in motherboard model number and model?

its from 2007 so its not really old or something...quite old but not really old

[Screamer216]

okay...
my motherboard looks a hell of alot like this one

i think mine is a little bit older though...

[Screamer216]

ah, new processor i wanted is am2+
unbelievable i figured that out this late

ah, well doesnt matter

thanx for the help anyways
cya

As you can see the part # starts with A. That is how most foxconn boards [amd type] start the part # not RS.
You probably found the cpu compatibility chart however here is a link to supported cpus.
