Actually the dual core chip probably won't even FIT on the motherboard. And I wouldn't try it either. You'll have to get a motherboard that's compatible with the processor.
www.newegg.com. Go there and find a compatible motherboard. The prices there are pretty much as cheap as you'll find anywhere.

download a BIOS update from your motherboard´s website. check there, if the specific update will support your cpu.
i think, now all socket 939 and AM2 motherboards support dual core AMD cpu-s. (X2 and FX60,62)
if you want to upgrade to a Pentium cpu, then check intel´s website....
good luck
