"Hey! My name is Kyle Hodge and today I am going to be explaining to you how to un-install and install motherboards. There are a few things you need to know about motherboards. First of all, when purchasing a motherboard, make sure that the socket type matches the type of the processor that you already have or if you already have the motherboard and you want to upgrade your processor, make sure that the tags match. This motherboard is a socket 939. If you ever have any questions, it says so right here. Also don't think just because you have an AMD or Intel Processor and your motherboard says it is compatible with an AMB or Intel Processor, that it is going to match. Each company Intel and AMB respectively have numerous types of sockets that their processors fit into. So for instance this motherboard is a socket 939 AMB. If you bought a socket AM2 AMD, guess what. It wouldn't fit."
