Hey guys, I have and ECS Iris 8 mobo, It is an AM2+ slot and my PC came with and AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ @ 2.5 Ghz (dual core). I want to upgrade to the Phenom 2 X4 940. the 940 is an AM2+ socket, but I want to know if I need to get a new mobo too. thanks.

best is to check your MB on the manufacture's website; they usually list which types of CPU they can support. You also need to check the bus speed...to see if it can keep up w/ the faster CPU
