    According to this site, the Motherboard you have is Socket AM2 and can take upto AMD Phenom X4 (you can't use Intel on an AMD-supporting board) but you would really need to triple check against your motherboard's serial number and also that the BIOS is suitable. If you read the comments on that site, at least one suggested upgrade doesn't work so do make certain.
