Answer» I was wondering if anybody knows how to find what motherboard your using. I'm trying to figure out if I can use a quad core amd processor without having to upgrade motherboards. I ran a belarc advisor scan thing and it says my board is:NF-MCP61. I tried a google search and a tigerdirect search but couldnt really find anything on it. was wondering if anybody could tell me a different way to find out what motherboard I'm using or if it'll be able to use the socket am2+. I'm using a dual core one right now so it's only socket am2. I OPENED my computer and all I SAW was geforce 6100sm-mv and it's an egs motherboard.download and run SIW from www.gtopala.com. It will tell you just about everything you need to know about your system, Also, what CPU are you using now?Right now I'm using an amd athlon 64 x2 5200+. My old one was an amd athlon x2 6000+ but it got taken out by a power supply. EDIT: I tried to run the diagnostic thing but vista isn't letting me. I tried turning off my firewall and I have administrator rights but it's not working.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM2ok so it will work but use the hypertransport 2.0 instead of 3.0. Does this make a significant difference if I were to be using this cpu, I guess what I'm trying to ask is would it be worth it to buy a quadcore processor if I'm only using hypertransport2.0? The processor I was looking into is the AMD Phenom Quad Core 9600 2.3 GHZ AM2+ BLACK Ed CPU
