Default Can i update my CPU as long as it is the same size Socket?

I have a 939 socket AMD 64 3800+ processor at the moment, and im thinking of upgrading to a AMD Athlon FX-60 Dual Core.

My Mobo is Asus A8N-Sli Deluxe.

With that board you can upgrade to any 939 pin CPU you like.

Only thing you need to watch is that the mobo must be dual core compatible. I know that board is because I have that exact motherboard with a X2 +3800 and it work fine.

Go to ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- and download the Bios Utility for you motherboard.

It will check to see if their is a new version of the bios, and if there is, it will download it and update.

Be very careful flashing the bios. I have seen them go wrong and completely kill a motherboard.

I found that connector you were looking for
Cindy, is this the thing you were looking for?
Wholesale Computer Accessories, Free Shipping, Wholesaler Distributor

It's on the list of computer accessories and parts. They have the DVI video thing to convert that jap monitor to work with your other computer. Just about any other kind of wire adaptor, usb connectors, monitor extension wires, ps2 extention wires, and all kinds of female and male swap connectors and things that I think would help your shop. If that above link don't work then gotfo FREE Shipping Of Wholesale Items China Direct Wholesaler Distributor and click on computer accessories. Let me know if that is what you need and give me your email address again.
