From memory that board has an AM2+ socket, so yes you *Could* use an AM3 socket, but you will get sub-optimal performance. You would likely get similar performance out of a higher end AM2 Processor.

At this stage I would probably recomend simply replacing the motherboard at the same time though. There's little point in buying a new processor that is so far out of date.

Also the new processor should come with a new fan assuming you don't buy OEM.

A CPU always comes withe a fan. Not the best fan mind you, but it will do. As for the CPU and Mobo it should work, because the Mobo is AM2+ socket and your CPU is AM3. You need to find out if your RAM is compatible with the Mobo as well.
