hmmmm thats weird. And i saw the users guide but there's nothing that could solve my problem....

Contact ASUS and see if there is a BIOS update so you can use an AM3 cpu!
Some boards can with a BIOS update!?!

i misread your original post as asking if the board supports DDR3 RAM - sorry... For the most part AM3 CPU should work as long as the BIOS supports it. You should either contact ASUS like camaroguy said or look on the website to see if any new bios have been released to support them.

Are you sure you have the board you quoted?(M4N68-AM-SE2)
I looked on ASUS' site and can not find that board for India or the USA
The closest I found was the M2N68-AM SE2 and there is a BIOS update that supports AM3 CPU's for this board!

Your 450W may be able to handle what you have in your sig with an upgraded CPU but, if you can upgrade the PSU I Would! Too much power is not a problem but, not enough is!
