Will the opteron X2 processor work on my asus A8N-E? I checked with asus and their specs show the athlon 64FX X2 as compatible, so i guess the opteron X2 185 will work also?

Man I hope it works, otherwise I'll be replacing the mobo also. Anyone want to buy a 3500+ thats never been overclocked? I admit that I have tried using AI NOS and AI Overclock with the built in settings from Asus, and the temps never went over 44 degrees Celsius while I was watching them. But that may be because I never went over 5%, because with the stock cooling and stock voltage it wouldn't run at 5% over.

Update!!!

Well I installed the new CPU tonight.... woo hooo it worked. Right out of the box I ran a 3dmark 05 bench and it got a 9899. Thats completely stock settings, with the old 3500+ processor I was getting around 8900 if I remember. Now I can work on the 10000 mark-
