Can APU chips be installed into an am3 mobo? such as Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P? (it has Video)

They are only campatable with fm boards. Most of the new processors are only compatible with FM2 motherboards

I put a ASUS AMD A85X SATA 6.0 Gb-s 240-Pin DDR3 2400 Motherboards F2A85-M PRO in and it takes both size cards. Looks good too. Using it as a xbmc media box.

I would avoid this MB. It has serious video chip failures. If you are intent on replacing the AMD cpu, I have one.

I believe this MB will only work with APU's... I don't use the graphics part of the APU anymore because I got a good deal on a R9. The APU graphics performed well with 1866mhz memory. I bought this MB for the durability and the on board sound.

Nope. Wrong socket on the motherboard. Video card is irrelevant to basic compatibility because this APU has a built in graphics chip. New motherboard with compatible socket (FM2 or FM2+) should only run you $50 or so...but make sure to check on your RAM as you will likely also need new RAM because your Inspirion probably has DDR2 and any new system will need DDR3.

can I ask why you would go with an APU if you are buying a video card? Do you already have a motherboard?

It should, provided you get the CPU for an AM3 motherboard socket. You may want to verify on Gigabyte's website for CPU compatibility.

the answer is no. if you already have the apu you will need an fm1 socket mobo. i would price an fm1 mobo against a new A6-A8 apu + mobo to see if there is like a $20 dollar difference and go for the newer gear

It will not. That is an Intel motherboard. You will need a motheboard with an FM2 or FM2+ socket for this APU.

As long as it is AM3+ socket, u will be able to use it. And for what I know, the GA-970A-DS3P motherboard is socket AM3+. But I recommend buying a better motherboard, though.

So long as your board has an available PCI-Express x16 slot (A board that supports AM3+ would appear to be new enough to have at least 1) you should be good to go.

The only problem you may run into is the processor socket. Depending on your processor, if it's not compatible with am3+ you may need to upgrade. Other than that you should be ok.

I'm not sure. But you can get the anwer from asus official website. Try to find Ur motherboard, and click the "specification ". If there is a msata slot in this board, yes you can install it . Good luck

This processor will not work. If you look at the processor's specifications, it says it's a socket AM3.

Yep definitely can just have to make sure your using a am3 compatible board.

I don't see why not, but you need to make sure that the motherboard has an AM3+ socket.
