Nope, the guy is an idiot.

Just go a bit back to my post about specifics for am2, am2+ and am3.

Am2+ = 940 socket (940 holes) and can receive a AM3(938 pins) processor.

The other way around is not possible. Am2+ processors do not fit on an AM3 mainboard.


The question if your mainboard will work with the AM3 CPU, only depends on if the BIOS supports it or not.

You need to get a smarter guy on the phone at Acer's.

greetz

his excuse was he uses intel

ill ring them back tomorrow and hopefully get a more knowledgable guy



...so it would fit the am3 cpu on a 940 socket . aslong as bios supports it

the guy at acer said hes never heard of socket 940

ive not either but dont get paid to give advise ..pshhhhhh

AMD Phenomâ„¢ Model Number and Feature Comparisons

look at the 9150e at bottom of chart

heres absolute proof its AM2+...



not that i ever doubted ure wisdom

no, thats my current cpu 9150e so i know my motherboard is 100% am2+ compatiible ,right,

thus like you said aslong as the bios supports the am3 cpu it will work

you must have misunderstood my previous post ....
