Will the AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 San Diego 2.6GHz Processor work in my KN1 MB?

Question

Ok I'm pretty sure if wil but the whole San Diego thing throws me off. I know Intel has Prescott and blah blah.

Here is what I cuurently have
Mother Board is ECS KN1lite 939 Socket It Currently has an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 2.2ghz.
The MB Specs say it will take 64 and 64FX. It doesn't say an X2, but from what I can tell the FX is better for gaming


I'm looking to change out the processor and New Egg has an FX for $200
AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 San Diego 2.6GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket
939 Processor

To me it seems like it should be fine, but it's that whole San Diego thing.

Answer 1

It will work fine ....
It is a Socket 939 CPU & your board supports it.

Answer 2

that E2160 will KILL the AMD once you overclock it previous 3.0Ghz it is amazingly possible on inventory cooling. and what's with the guy that asserts that the AMD will burn CDs swifter? Are you loopy? That has to do with the speed of your opticalcontinual, no longer the CPU...
