I have question about my motherboard and processor. I have asked few people and got different answers. So I am going to ask it here to. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%205000%2B%20-%20ADO5000IAA5DO%20(ADO5000DOBOX).html http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16819103771 which one of this 2 my motherboard supports and why/why not. My mb http://www.motherboards.org/mobot/motherboards_d/MSI/K9NU%2BNeo%2B%2528MS-7270%2529/
Also from now on I will ask here some questions about my hardwares that I do not understand and couldnt google it out, also another reason is that my internet is slow so entering one same like is much faster.
Second question is what is different beetwin ddr2 533 Mhz and ddr2 800 Mhz. Is it faster, will ot heat slower, do I need more power to run it?.
 
Solution
First link is broken, but appears to be an Athlon X2-5000+.
Second link is an Athlon X2-5600+

Per the (apparent) CPU Support List, both are compatible. I say apparent because your link is to the MSI K9NU Neo where as mine is to the MSI K9NU NeoV

As for memory, DDR2-800 is faster (not overly noticeably), but only if your motherboard supports it.
