My neighbor has an A8M2N-LA (am2 only) mobo. It is bad and he is about to order another. This board accepts DDR2 ram. I just want to make sure he will be able to use his X2 4600 and DDR2 ram with a AM3/AM2/AM2+ mobo. Might as well get the AM3 board so he can get a better CPU later. Ive been intel lately and dont know all this stuff.
