ASUS M5A78L-M LE Motherboard compatibility issues with AMD Athlon X2 260 Processor

[marklevenson]

Hello. Can anyone help me with my problem?

I have an ASUS M5A78L-M LE motherboard with an AMD Sempron 145 Processor. I am planning to upgrade my proc to an AMD Athlon X2 260 Processor but there's something with the specs that bothers me.

My problem is about the Manufacturing tech of ASUS M5A78L-M LE motherboard which supports 32nm CPUs. Is it compatible with the 45nm manufacturing tech of AMD Athlon X2 260 processors?

Thanks much in advance who would care to help me with my problem.


Cheers!

Mark

Thanks man! I also checked my current processor which is the AMD Sempron 145 and it also uses the same technology with Athlon X2 260. Great!
