Motherboard Compatability

[wmorri]

I am looking at upgrading my CPU, I am a real fan of AMD. I am thinking about getting either the 5000, or 6000. This is because I have ea budget to hold to. The thing that I am concerned about is whether my mobo is compatible with them. I have an ASUS A7V8X-LA, for a motherboard. It came standard with my computer when I got is in 2004. So I am just looking for advice on compatibility.

Thanks

No, you will need a socket AM2 motherboard and DDR2 RAM. They are available for cheaper than you think: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138106
That mobo also supports the new Phenoms should you wish to upgrade later.
