Greetings all
I have an old PC I want to upgrade, it has a ABIT KN8-Ultra Main Board that supports AMD athlon 64/64FX Dual Core Socket 939 CPUs, I would like to replace the current single core CPU with a dual core CPU. In the Main Board manual it states the following "Supports AMD athlon 64/64FX Dual Core 939-pin K8 CPU with 2GHz system bus using hyper transport Technology".
My question is, what is the largest CPU I can use with this main board, I am currently looking at the following:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 939 Dual Core (2.2Ghz I think?); and
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core Socket 939, Toledo (2.0Ghz I think?).
Can I use either of these CPUs? Can I use a larger one? Does the 2Ghz system bus mean the largest processor I can use is the 3800+ duo at 2.0Ghz?
Thanks
