mobo that can support it...i think. but you dont need a processer with dual core.

Call your motherboard Maker.

any socket 939 will accept amd dual cores!, dont need it tho. buy a amd 64 3800+ or 4000+ and save the money

Dual core standards should work well with current socket 939 standards. If it doesn't work, then run a BIOS update. New motherboards now support all dual cores.

It's great for multitasking and I would love to get one in the future.

Yes. Some motherboard require a BIOS update in order for a dual-core to work.
