Make sure the motherboard supports your specific CPU (visit their web-site and make sure your specific CPU is listed!!!!) and not just that if it fits or not.

Bought a motherboard that does not support the latest version of the CPU I bought, and now I have to pay out 200$ more for a new motherboard. @_@

That is all.

Sorry to hear that - I guess you could ebay off the unusable board. If you got both CPU and MB from the same company they may even have a return policy.

if you have the money you might as well do what gollum said and basically construct your own super computer network
