What you are looking for is a socket 478 chip. You usually get a better deal if you buy the chip, motherboard and memory together.

Here is a web site that will give you an idea of what its going to cost you



Avoid buying an OEM CPU (90 day warranty). You want to purchase a BOXED CPU. That has a 3 year warranty

The 1 MB of L2 CPU cache is part of the Processor, it has nothing to do with the motherboard. It like a giant notepad that the CPU uses. More is better
