Hey guess what?!?

An AMD A64 3500+ 2.2G AM2 Processer simply will not fit on an ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard! It's a socket 939! There is a difference! AM2 is not socket 939!
(AM2 = socket 939? No)
Seriously though. Who knew there was a difference?

Not me.

Now the computer I am building is going to be a good 2 weeks behind while Newegg does their little RMA process, and I sit and wait on the last piece of my computer.

Every paycheck I have bought a component here, and a component there. This and an 80gig Sata Drive were the last things I need. The Sata came without a sata cable (no biggie, i'll pick one up at staples) but I bought the wrong processer... blah.

Buy the right processor right away, charge it, then pay it off once the RMA clears. That way you only wait 3-4 days without a processor.
