Hi there!
I have a Abit KN9 Ultra motherboard with an AMD 3800+ cpu. I think its AM2 socket but no so sure.
Which is the faster cpu i can attach? AMDPhenom X4 QC 9950? This is AM2 type CPU,or so it says.
Thanks in advance
 
It doesn't support the phenoms ie AM2+ cpu's, only AM2 CPU's. See here :

for the official support list.

The fastest you can get is the 3.2 ghz 6400+, either black edition or normal (the latter is better as it comes with a fan).
The good news is, it's over 1ghz faster than your current cpu, so it will be very noticably faster.
The 6400's can be a bit hard to find now but the latest 6000+'s run at 3.1 ghz and use less power, so would also be a good upgrade.
