    I am learning the hard way that that is the way to go! I did however 
find a cpu which was hard because many places had sold out, that got me 
a cpu that works on a AM2 socket:

*AMD Athlon 64 LE-1640 / 2.6 GHz Processor*
SKU:Q42894
UNIT PRICE:$45.99
WEIGHT:1.00 lbs(s)
FREE SHIPPING
	 	1	
$0.00
	
$45.99

	So now I wait for this to be delivered. I did verify it is  an older cpu and made to work with my motherboard AND BIOS!
