new cpu upgrade

[aaron d]

Hate to tell you, but depending on how old your old Athlon 64 X2 is, you are
_probably_ SOL. Phenom II requires AM2+ or AM3 mobo. However, the bulk of
Athlons 64 were on AM2 and 939. Even if you have an AM2+ board, you had
better keep the old CPU around long enough to update, if you havent updated
recently.
