can I put AM Phenom to my Intel dual core comp?
Hello, I'm not geek of any kind and I'd like to update my comp but thinking If I'll be able to do so with my current box. I have ASUS Intel dual core 2.60 with 6 Ram and I'd like to go with these:
e AMD Phenom II X6 1035T 2.6GHz 6-Core Socket AM3 Processor (pictured), model no. HDT35TWFGRBOX, together with an ECS A880LM-M1 AMD 760G Socket AM3 Motherboard ,
The CPU includes a fan and features 3MB L2 cache and 6MB L3 cache, so I don't know what to do with current fan?
Any help will be GREAT help as you see, lol

That is a big negative. You cannot update an Intel motherboard with an AMD CPU. It's like trying to put a Ford Mustang's engine into a Chevy Camaro.
Not gonna work.
Nothing to do. You only can get yourself a universal cooler holder for every socket. Try searching. Smth like CoolerMaster Hyper Z600r
Amd and Intel CPUs are not interchangeable
To it's a different socket, it won't fit.
