if that's the case then you need a tool to identity the motherboard for you.
a freeware tool called cpu-z will do the job, download it from: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
download and install, then run and navigate to the main-board tab
there you will find the information you seek.
There is no good way to test a CPU without putting it onto a compatible motherboard.
A CPU is a small square chip that is secured to the motherboard.
yes motherboard is a part of CPU
probably SDRAM
You can but your CPU will probably not go as fast as it should. The motherboard has a system crystal that has a clock. The speed of the clock is called the frontside bus speed. A CPU uses a multiplier to make the CPU go faster. For instance if the frontside bus is 100MHz and the CPU has a multipier of 5, then the CPU will operate at 500MHz. So, if you use a CPU that is larger than what the motherboard requires the front side bus, which is dictated by the type of motherboard may be slower that what your CPU is supposed to see so it will run slower. Hope this helps, if you have any questoins leave it on my message board.
The CPU fits into a specific slot on the motherboard known as a CPU socket. This socket type varies depending on the CPU architecture, with common types including LGA (Land Grid Array) and PGA (Pin Grid Array). The socket ensures proper alignment and electrical connections between the CPU and the motherboard. It's essential to match the CPU with the compatible socket type to ensure proper functionality.
Your motherboard may need to be changed when your CPU is upgraded.
The only thing that affects the decision on RAM is a motherboard. Your motherboard can only support a certain type of RAM.
There is no alternative for a CPU - Central Processing Unit. It's the brains of the computer. Without it, there's no control point on the motherboard.
On an AT motherboard, the CPU will be placed in front of the expansion slots
Socket A.
AMD is not a motherboard, it is a company. "Advanced Micro Devices" - they manufacture CPU chips, motherboard chipsets and motherboards. All are used by Wintel type PCs (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD.)
