Asus A8N-SLI

[Rush]

Help ?,
I was led to believe my Asus A8N-SLI Motherboard could only support a Socket 939 3800CPU . Is this true or could i install lets say a Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4800+ (Socket939) if i could afford it ??.
Reading the manual and it states ..
CPU - Socket 939 for AMD Athlon 64FX/AMD Athlon 64 processor,
Thanks

you should be able to stick an X2 in ok but if not i think a BIOS upgrade will sort it as it states on the website that it supports them

Edit: this tool is very useful

If i bought say a x2 4200 and another gig of ram what performance gain would i have game playing wise that what i have originally ...3200 and 1gig. do you think it would be worth the investment as my case and psu are fairly good
