help with new cpu

[Towanda]

Hiya

I am planning to buy a new cpu but dont know if there is a limit with my motherboard which is an Asus A8n-e

Since its a socket 939 i am planning on getting a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 2.4GHz Socket 939 2000MHz bus. Would this cpu work on the mobo?

Aye should be fine

List of supported cpu's here

Just needs bios 1006 to support it

good thing buying the asus a8n-e got that one myself and works like a dream.

only thing which is weird is that my mouse gives light also when the comp is turned off. guess that's the motherboard :/ nothing wrong with that actually tho.

Tnx for the help

Yeah, i really like the mobo too, but when i turn the pc off everything shuts down. strange.... At work the dockingstation for the cellphone is lit all the time but thats only when i have separate power supply for it, do you use an usb hub for your mouse?

At my work, all newer PCs (i believe since Pentium 4 HT) have mouse lightning when the PC is shut down.

At home, not my mouse, therefore my keyboard is still lightning lol.

I believe only PS/2 keyboards/mouses keep their light on, if you use the setting Wake-up-on-keyboard/mouse event (or something like that) in the BIOS. It's somewhere at the ACPI or Power settings probably.
