You should consider 7750 BE or 7850 BE!!! BE means black edition, which
means the multiplier is unlocked.

Only interested in the posted info thx


Is it because of the socket... or ....?




Looking at it yes it seems your suggested CPU's require AM2+ socket
My MB is AM2. Have been away from building machines for some time but
i suspect they are pinned different.
