    Swapping CPU, PLEASE HELP!!!!


    Hey there all. Just wanted to ask a question, and get some feeback. I am going to upgrade my CPU a little. And I wanted to know. Will an AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8Ghz AM3 CPU work on a Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 rev. 1.0 motherboard. I just ordered the CPU and I also got a new motherboard. But I wanted to use my old board if i could. Any help would greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!!
