i dont know im not sure i guess i cant by the looks i think i could be wrong i dont understand that chart really
you just want to swap out processors? The chart he posted is telling you what processors are compatible with your motherboard. you also need to figure out which version you have as it looks like there's a 1, 3, and a 5
If you say your board supports athlong 64 and not 64x2 then i would say now it cannot support a dual core AMD, maybe it can with a Bios update.
bios updates don't show anything for dual core. boards appear not capable of dual core or any speed above 3700+. This motherboard uses a 754-pin socket that carries the following features: • Accommodates AMD Sempron/Athlon 64 processors • Supports up to 1600 MT/s HyperTransportTM (HT) interface speeds
