I own a Emachine EL1358g-51w 2.80ghz amd athlon II x2. I was wondering if it can be upgraded to a phenom II x4 quad? The socket type for this mother is AM3 socket. It did say i can put a athlon II x4 but i not sure if a phenom II x4 would work. Any suggestion?

OEM Mobo/Bios are made for them so determining what CPU's are/are not compatible is difficult to determine. A CPU that will wprk in a retail version of that Mobo/Bios may not be compatible with the OEM version.
The best source for that info is the PC manufacturer.
