No, just AM2+ sockets, with recent enough BIOS.


M2A-VM's web page says AM3 cpu can work, newest bios

can recognise AM3 cpu. Can Asus be wrong ?

That is most unusual. It is a BETA bios, so not completely tested.

However they list some AM3 cpu's in their cpu support list as working
with that bios:
