My motherboard says it, but I'm not sure. Can it support Am3?

I got a motherboard from tiger direct almost a year ago a little while before the am3 chips came out. My model is a Gigabyte GA-ma770-ud3 and it says "AM3 Ready" on the box.

does that mean if I purchase an Am3 chip, it will run no problem?

yes, i have the same motherboard but some of the new am3 chips like the 965BE might need a BIOS update.

Do yo always to what your motherboard tells you to? Grow up. You're a big boy now, you don't have to wait for permission from your motherboard.
