No. Two completely different sockets. Your board is the long dead socket 939 and the cpu is a socket AM3. New pc time if you want a upgrade.

Cheers RJC, Looks like no

mynameisjarvis · 31 Aug 2009 at 18:55

This would work though it seems?
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+ 2.60GHz

No. As i told you above, your board is socket 939 and was end of life a good couple of years ago.

oh snap, I'll look into buying a new mobo and getting a better process or then.

Thanks Pastymuncher
