A few years back I bought a GeForce 8800 GTS 512 and a 550W power supply to match. However, I've noticed that my processor, which is a standard AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+, has been limiting the perfomance of my system.

I was thinking of buying something like AMD Phenom II X4 Quad 955 Core 3.2GHz Processor 4 x 512 KB Boxed - Black Edition, the problem is that according to my information my motherboard (Asus M2N68-LA Narra) can't handle the upgrade.
So, I was hoping if someone could maybe give me a few pointers on what kind of a motherboard I should get, I can handle most of the upgrade stuff on my own, but I'm not too familiar with motherboards. Currently I'm thinking of something like ASUS M4A78LT-M LE - AMD 760G - Socket AM3 - DDR3 1800(OC) - SATA 3Gb/s - SATA RAID - MicroATX - Onboard Graphics but then again, I know little when it comes to this.

Have you tried the obvious discussion forums - e.g. PC Advisor or Micro Mart? Worth a look if you don't mind the techy jargon....

To tell you the truth, I was initially feeling a little lazy, so I decided to ask at the first place that came to mind (the first place where I could expect to get any decent answers to begin with) and it doesn't hurt to just ask does it.
I figure I could try to look up someplace more specialized, would likely be faster that way too.
