I'm building a new computer, and just wondering what I must do to a socket 939 standard mobo to get it to run a dual-core cpu. Specifically, the 64-bit 4600 Manchester and the ASUS A8V-MX VIA K8M800. Also, is the micro-ATX mobo a good investment? Should I get a larger one? I just chose it becuase of the price. I only have 1 HD, 1 GPU, 1 CPU, 1 Sound Card, no 8 drive array. I've already ordered it, but I can always return it...or does newegg have a conflicting policy? So many questions =P Basically, this thread == How do I config a mobo to use dual-core?

Here's a clue:

Pull up the motherboard on Asus's website and look.
