Hello, I am the technician that will be assisting you today. My name is Norman-Wynne Damstra.
Welcome to Fixya, Roger Gross.
Yes your new AMD Athlon 2 X2 255 processor is made to fit both AM2+ or AM3 sockets.
Since your current socket is 754, you will need a new mainboard and DDR3 RAM to go with your new processor.
ASUS make very good mainboards. The ASUS M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 mainboard is a good companion for your new processor. Install DDR3 1333MHz CL9 RAM from either Kingston or Corsair. 2X2GB modules should do nicely.
Feel free to contact me should you require additional assistance.
