Yes
Socket AM2+ is a CPU socket, which is the immediate successor to Socket AM2 that is used by several AMD processors such as Athlon 64 X2. Socket AM2+ is a mid-migration from Socket AM2 to Socket AM3 and is fully compatible with Socket AM2, so that processors designed for Socket AM2 work on Socket AM2+ motherboards and vice versa.

Yes




But you might need to update you're bios first then.

I believe this is you're motherboard? These processors are supported: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=&prod_no=1242

They are cross compatible but AM2+ uses max 1066MHz DDR2 ram where as if u use AM2+ cpu in socket AM2 u can only use a max of DDR2 800 MHz
