Help
Hi guys.
I am looking to upgrade my PC on a budget. So instead of getting a new mobo I am just going to max out the one I have as it will still give me a half decent machine to work with.
I have an Acer Aspire X3200 which currently has an AMD Phenom™ X3 triple-core processor installed. I am wishing to upgrade my processor to an AMD X4 quad-core processor.
I can't remember what type of board I have but I think both processors utilize an AM2+ socket which is what my motherboard has.
Does anyone know if I am correct in thinking that my machine can take an AMD X4 processor?
Thanks for any help guys.

An X3 is an X4 with one flawed core. They disable the broken one and sell it as an X3.
So, yes.

The processor is AM3 so you can use any AMD AM3 processor for sure, weather it also supports AM2 I do not know without your mobo model/make.
