Solve : CPU Motherboard compatibility?

1.	Solve : CPU Motherboard compatibility?
Answer» Hey iv been looking at this motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131292R And this CPU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103471 Are they compatible? I know the sockets are the same AM2+. Does MHz have anything to do with compatibility? Because the Motherboard is 2600 MHz and the CPU is 3600 MHz. Along with these i have the following parts in my cart. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134217 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136351 It would be much appreciated if someone could check out the parts the top two for sure if anyone has the time. Thanks- NateYes, they will work together. The 2600 that you are reading on the mother board is for the FSB(Front Side Bus). The socket types match and the mother board says that it will accept any of the following. Quote AM2+/AM2 Whoops, jumped the gun there. No, I don't think it will. The mother board says this as well. Quote Phenom FX / Phenom / Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64 X2 I'm going to suggest that you phone Newegg and get them to verify that.I believe that MHz between CPU and MOBO do not matter really , uneless you want a high performance machine. If your MOBO has HIGHER MHz than CPU then thats fine but id guess that if the CPU has higher MHz than MOBO then the CPU will slow down to be the same as the MOBO. In short the MHz does not matter What QUantos is saying is that the two objects , MOBO and CPU must have STHE same socket type , for example a socket 775 WLL only FIT in a socket 775 MOBO. Usually , as quantos also says , there will be a list of acceptable CPUs on the MOBOs manufacturer website.Quote as quantos also says Come on now, don't I qualify for an upper case q. Geez, some people...
