Saw someone on another forum post that a am2 style processor such as a athlonx2 5000 can be used on the newer motherboards with the am3 chipset.
Mainly wanted to know if it is true and if their is any wattage limitations (If I recall correctly Amd has produced 125w/95w/65w/45w Cpu's since the inception of the original am2 standard
In short I am looking to slowly upgrade my system piece by piece over the next year my current specs are
M2n-Sli motherboard (4gb pc6400 ddr2)
Athlonx2 5000 series 2.8ghz duel core
Evga GT 520 video card (this won't be replaced for awhile as it is brand new)
650 watt Sli ready Antec power Supply (not a upgrade priority unless other new hardware requires it)
