You've gott to watch the small details. You posted you had an AM2 mobo. He checked it out on the net and caught it waas an AM2+.

Big Difference. Everyone would have been posting wrong CPU's that would have cost you money and, probably no refund.

Thank Capt. Halpo for that money saveing catch.

This isn't meant to diss you but, Details count and can be expensive.

Good Luck on your Upgrade jumpy
AM2 was off the top of my head.
Asus link I provided in my first post says - Support AMD Socket AM2+/AM2 CPU. Confirmed by CaptainHaplo.

Also the two links, in my third post, for CPU's are for both the 125 & 95 W options suggested by CaptainHaplo - although at my preferred retailer there is only 945 125w, which is why I linked to an 850 95w which is the closest match to Hapalo's recommendation.
I think - now you have confused me
