Im still looking at motherboards (I know, just get one!)
My question is, Generally, how do I know what CPU's the board will accept if it doesnt say. For instance an AM2 board summary just says "AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core/ Athlon 64 / Sempron processor" Im sure that doesnt necessarily mean I could stick a AMD x2 6400+ in there. Is there someplace I can learn more about the specifics on Motherboards and the CPUs that fit them? Like significance in Tranfer rates, FSB speeds, Chipstes, Etc.???
