Ok this is my first time building a system myself....ok
my question is this:

Did i screw myself with this motherboard.....since its one of the first ASUS motherboards that support AMD2 processors?
I noticed that most of the newer boards specifically state things like dual L2 cache support?
Am I going to get any benifit out of my dual processor?
Any information one can give me will help?

All you have to worry about is whether it supports an AM2 chip, which it does..
