i can use a Athlon II X4 640 Processor perfectly with this MOBO??

Yes you can use any am3 cpu in that board as long as it doesn't exceed 95watts

Yes you can use it perfectly.. you can check in the web site of the MOBO: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/760GM-P23--FX-.html#/?div=CPUSupport

Aaron totally correct. It will work. PC-6400 is the best you can put in it.

Should be OK but it would best to check the Qualified Vendor List (QVL) on the ASRock web site to be sure your model of memory is compatible.

You can, but this board does not have onboard graphics, so you will have to make sure that your processor has integrated graphics

Normally the MOBO have a specific list with all processors supported! Just find the list and check the processor.

So long as your board has an available PCI-Express x16 slot (A board that supports AM3+ would appear to be new enough to have at least 1) you should be good to go.

Yes it is. I actually bought both of them and it works perfect! You should check anyway the max ram frequency that your cpu can take. Ex: i bought fx8320 and it can take up to 1866MHz. Check that. But the RAM and mobo work!!

I'm using a third generation cpu, but you shouldn't have any compatibility issues with the cpu, if anything you might have an issue with you're mobo. Make sure it's compatible with 2400 ram

The style appears to be the same so it should fit in the slot on the mobo but you will need to download the drivers from Intel before it will actually be usable.

In the technical details it mentions only AMD x2 and x4... Could that limit the function of this motherboard?

No, if it's the desktop that I'm thinking of, this chip is too old for it. Your motherboard only supports AM2 or higher. Look for these: AMD Phenom II Quad-Core AMD Phenom II Triple-Core AMD Phenom Quad-Core (A) 9xxx series (AM2+) AMD Phenom Triple-Core (T) 8xxx series (AM2+) AMD Athlon X4 AMD Athlon X3 AMD Athlon X2 (B) (AM2+) Sources: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay?javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.prp_ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c02131097-23%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.tpst=ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01&sp4ts.oid=4162245&ac.admitted=1393207921410.876444892.199480143

HI Victor, To the best of my knowledge the processor should work. It is basically AM3 processor. Also it is rated at 95W which is also what the motherboard supports.

It can use some Athlon CPU's. I have still not used my MB. I got a MSI A88X G45 instead, so this new board is unused. You can view the CPU Support list for this motherboard here: http://www.gigabyte.co.za/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4683

You should not have problems with this motherboard, You need a medium case or bigger, a LGA 1150 processor, DDR3 RAM.

No, that AM2 processor will not install. There are some MSI microATX boards that will and are cheap. I mean good, but out of date and therefore inexpensive.

Definitely. I used an Athlon II (Propus) x4 645 prior to upgrading to FX 8320 (Piledriver), so it can handle anything in between. To ensure compatibility, always check with the vendor of the motherboard. To check for compatible CPU's, goto http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU, to see if your RAM is ok, check out http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=Memory, and finally, if you're planning on multiple Graphics Cards: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=VGA&c;=2 Best of luck!

This board will support up to a 125W TDP so it should be fine as long as you have the correct BIOS. Here is a link to check BIOS requirement: http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/M5A78L-M_LX_PLUS.html
