If you have an AMD Duron processor, those run on a Socket A motherboard, which is very outdated in 2011. No major retailers sell processors for such an old socket. I would recommend an upgrade, as Newegg.com has Socket AM3 (the newest AMD processor socket) Sempron processors for as low as $36.99 and AM3 motherboards for as low as $39.99.
It depends on the type of AMD processor. The current AM3 generation has 938 pins.
You can use an amd sempron or an amd athlon II with an am3 socket, but when am3 was released it was meant to be used with the amd phenom line of CPUs. You can use all three: amd sempron, amd athlon II & amd phenom.
The Socket AM3 Connector is compatible with the AM3 and AM3+ processors, but not AM2 or AM2+ processors, which have 940 pins instead of the 941 pins of the AM3/AM3+.
I'm assuming its an Athlon II x2 220 you are talking about. Which is 2.8 GHz, dual-core, socket AM3, 65W processor.
Depends on what socket you get. Each may be different. E.G: LGA 771 LGA 775 LGA 1366 Socket 478 Socket 939 Socket AM2 Socket AM2+ Socket AM3
No, it will definitely not fit. If you have an AM3+ CPU like for example an FX-8150 or an FX-6100, a Phenom X4 or even an AMD Athlon II X2, you have to use an AM3+ socket, or in the case of the Athlon II X2, or X3, or X4, or the Phenom family of CPU's you can use AM3+'s predecessor: the AM3, as well as the AM3+. However, the 939 is a much older socket which is not compatible with most modern day AMD CPU's.
Well, all motherboards are socket motherboards (When we're talking about the personal computer, of course!). The socket and socket type are what determine which processor you can use with your board! Take AM2 / AM3+ for example. Motherboards with the AM2 / AM3+ socket can house processors from the Phenom and FX-X family of AMD processors. It is very important that you make sure the socket type on your motherboard and processor match if you are considering doing an upgrade-- Different socket types aren't compatible!
Socket AM3
Zalman, thermaltake.
A Black Edition hexa-core (6 core) processor running at 3.2 GHz, 125W TDP, and Socket AM3.
The Intel 6th Generation i7 is much better than the AMD Athlon.
