This is a quick question, and one that I have interest in finding the answer to.
Will a socket AM2 chip from AMD, such as my 6400+, work in an AM2+ equipped board?
I will be upgrading my motherboard soon, probably in september (which is soon to me) but don't yet want to leave my 6400+ chip. I do however want to be able to upgrade to future AMD chips, sorry intel but you'll never convert me, like the upcoming and hopefully far better phenom chips that will come out next year. These chips of course need an AM2+ board, but I don't want to by a new chip so soon.
The biggest reason for my confusion is the fact that the two slots look identical, so I can't tell just by basic pin layout. So if anyone knows, please let me know.
Cheers, and thanks in advance.
