Default do i have to find a motherboard that supports opteron 165?

i want to get an opteron 165 1.8Ghz, socket 939.
the motherboard i want to get is Asus A8R-MVP
http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?m...3&l2=15&l3=236
but the thing is, it doesn't say anything about supporting opterons...
well, when i checked other socket 939 motherboard, they don't say anything either,
so i am asking if i can buy both Asus A8R-MVP, and opteron 165...
