Will my processor still work?

I have a socket 939 AMD 4400+ processor. However, a couple of the outer pins are bent inwards. I tried to bend one back and it broke off. Now there are 4 bent pins. Will my processor still work?

get a mobo and test it, if it works you are in good shape if it doesnt you will need to replace it.

It depends on the pins. Unfortunately, a lot of the outer pins are pins for the memory, so if they aren't there the processor won't work. It could probably still work if a few pins that just deliver power were broken.
