    I think that MB is an AM2 cpu socket. The AMD Phenom II x4 965 is for an AM3 cpu socket.

    Your Right, I left the 6 off the Violet when I looked it up.

    So you should be ok with an AM3 socket then.

    The Phenom II X4 965be is the chip to get then and it runs great and overclocks well ! I've seen it for as little as $79.00 but I would get it sooner than later or they could all be gone one day.
