1st Build - Major help needed

One ASRock listed above is a MiniITX and the other is the MicroITX. Your original Giga mobo is the MicroITX but the Mini should fit as well as it's smaller. If you can find the ASRock's then I think you'll be better served.

I concur on this.

Yes you are obsessing, enjoy yourself, we've tried to help and get confusing half-answers.

I tried to call ASRock and dbl. check. @ 909.590.8308 but they are closed till the new year. I think if you can contact an authorized ASRock dealer you should ask for the compatibility as I feel confident it should work but clearly your CPU isn't listed and I understand your concern. It would seem the mobo's can handle the FM1 pin patterns in A6 or A4 in Husky or Llano cores with a Bios version difference, but I would hate to say 100% and be wrong.

I would probably see if you can dig up
Any info online about the board you are
Thinking about and go from there. As
Far as over absessing well maybe maybe not

All of this is coming from ASRocks site and then support for CPU's and it clearly doesn't show this CPU but I still suspect it will work but would I bet my life on it.......not a chance, but someone will be much more in the know as they say.
