I was able to find your motherboard on abit's website. But the link doesn't work. No phenom cpus are listed under the "cpu support" section for your board. I would not buy a new cpu for such an old board. Abit hasn't manufactured any motherboards for about 7 years. I would sell your old cpu/board/ram and start over. You may have to reinstall windows or buy a new coa.

Thank you for the reply and I agree with you. one quick question.. What do you mean "Buy a new COA?"

COA = certificate of authenticity, which is a long microsoft number you need to do a fresh windows installation for the new motherboard. Some windows installations are only good for the original motherboard. And some new windows oem cd's are also good for only one installation. You'll just have to contact microsoft and see if they will give you a new coa for your new combo.
