I got the wrong processor.

I got one for socket 1 instead of socket 2.

Monotype

Socket 1? Athlon X2s weren't around 20 years ago!

Is there a number like 4000+ or 250 or 7550?
It should have it in clear writing on the box.


Edit:

For example, this is an X2 240.

NO your pc will take a diffent cpu to a laptop its been years scince any laptop has used desktop cpu's.

Ive neven seen a desktop takeing a laptop cpu.

Unfortunately no, as thenightrider says, you will have to get a desktop CPU.

There have been a few adapters for sockets in the past (I remember one for the pentium M to desktop) and daughter boards for already specialised boards (939 socket + am2 compatibility) but I haven't seen anything like that in recent years.

Here's a compatibility list for the board. The best one on the lust is the phenom x4 840 and it's about €85 delivered from amazon.co.uk.

thanks for the reply guys.

guys how can I pick the right fan for my motherboard.

Monotype

CPU fan? You will get one in most processor boxes. It does the job but they're not great and can be noisy. You want one that's am2/am3 compatible. You should look for reviews on any particular as some are great or worse that the AMD one.

Is it a 3pin or a 4PIN one.

In the specifications its says the power connector is 4 pin, should i go by this ?
