Which one to trust: CPU-Z or Aida64?

Solved

Hello,

I'm going to receive soon 4x2Go DDR3 to install in my computer.
However, when I check under Aida64, it tells me I have an AMD2+ Socket and on CPU-Z an AMD3.

I have a Phenom II x4 810; if you want photos of Aida64/CPU-Z, I can post them.

Thank you in advance for your responses!

Hello
both are "right"
your processor is the first processor released by AMD to manage DDR3
compatible with an AMD2+ or AM3 motherboard.
So some motherboard manufacturers modified their BIOS to make your processor, designed for AM3, compatible with AM2+.
So you should rather trust your motherboard.
This often leads to misunderstandings, including between motherboard manufacturers and AMD.

In conclusion, can I put in DDR3 without any problem?

Yes, provided that your motherboard supports it. If you are using DDR2, you will need to change your motherboard to DDR3. If you're not sure, go to SPD in CPU-Z.

I know I currently have DDR2, the question is whether I can still put in DDR3 because of the issues with the two programs.

Is it possible to have dual channel in DDR2 and dual channel in DDR3 on certain motherboards?

Where can I see this on one of the two software programs?

you should look at your motherboard and not on the software

So, if I look at my motherboard, what indicates to me that it's in dual channel?

EDIT: Here is the motherboard in the image https://www.aliexpress.com/maintain.html
EDIT 2: Yeah, right now I'm in dual channel with DDR2 (2x2 GB DDR2 400MHz (real crap) and I'll soon know if it's 4x2 GB DDR3 identical.

Finally, if I understood correctly, my processor is on AMD3 and my motherboard is on AMD2+, which is capable of running an AMD3?

To summarize:

You cannot install DDR2 on your motherboard because it is too old.
You can just change your motherboard and keep your processor.

That's right, no DDR3 on the motherboard since it's too old?
