ok so it will work but use the hypertransport 2.0 instead of 3.0. Does this make a significant difference if I were to be using this cpu, I guess what I'm trying to ask is would it be worth it to buy a quadcore processor if I'm only using hypertransport2.0? The processor I was looking into is the AMD Phenom Quad Core 9600 2.3 GHZ AM2+ Black Ed CPU
