Not an MB car question, but an MB question all the same...

Being tempted to upgrade the AMDx2 4200 CPU I have (I checked) with one of these

AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1GHz 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 Retail Boxed Processor - Ebuyer

Its an AM3 CPU which I am told should be backwads compatible to my Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard

Some conflicting stuff on really technical forums.... anybody willing to offer reliable advice please?

Cheers

Fabes
