You will have to update to the 5001 BIOS for the CPU to work.

This is a direct quote from the Asus Forum :

M2A-VM BIOS 5001
1． Beta Bios for Supporting AM3 CPUs.
2． System still able to POST when set CPU Multiplier to 35X, but actual frequency will not change.
3． Due to chipset limitation, Max HT Link is 1000MHz only.
4． It will no display if downgrade Bios to lower version.

Try to go thru this before you end up buying anything....

As your advice, I think I may go upgrade motherboard AM3 in this case.
