    Hi I want to upgrade my CPU from my current AMD Phenom 9150e 1.8GHz Quad Core

    To AMD Phenom II X4 850 Sk AM3 3.3Ghz

    I've updated my BIOS to the latest here is a CPU-Z picture

    And my current CPU is AM2+ and I believe AM3 cpus support AM2+ right?

    And this is any files/manuals that you might need to check:
    Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents - Desktop / Aspire / Aspire M3201

    Acer Support: AspireM3201*Acer Aspire M3201 Desktop Series

    Today i tried an AMD Phenom 960T but I got a mismatch error this maybe due to the fact that the CPU can support 6 Cores and my motherboard cant..
