Hi, I currently have the AMD Athlon 64 Processor (3500+ 1.77GHz socket 939) and the A8AE-LE AmberineM Motherboard (viewable here).
I'm posting because I've been looking to get a new and faster processor. I was able to find these two that should work: The Athlon 64 4000+ model and the Athlon 64 x2 4800+ model (both socket 939 of course). I just want to first make sure they both will work with my motherboard, even though I see the stats are shown that they will work, I just want to be sure they will work (a "better safe than sorry" situation). Especially with the revision type, what does that mean? And do you think it's worth the extra $ for the dual core version? I'm not sure if I'll really need all that extra processing power, although I do a lot of building of programs and games, which is pretty annoying slow with my current processor (I'm going into computer programming and I've been learning game production and design).
Thanks in advance!
