You can't put an AM2 CPU in a 754 socket.
X2s are only available for Socket 939 and AM2(+).

The fastest CPU your board supports is the 3700+. They're probably quite expensive, being the fastest CPUs available for that socket.

Dual-core Opteron 185 @ 3.2GHz
2x 8800GTS in SLI

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this stuff out.

- socket 754 CPUs fit in socket 754 boards
- socket 939 CPUs fit in socket 939 boards
- socket AM2 CPUs fit in socket AM2 boards

Do you detect any type of pattern?
