According to ASUSTek (http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?board_id=14&model=AC-P111&id=20060702012455779&page=1&SLanguage=en-us) this mobo has an AM2 slot. You might want to have a look at the AMD Athlon 64 X2 (dual core) CPU's.

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00757531&dlc=en#N655 indicates that the mobo supports up to the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ CPU, with a BIOS update. Not sure if this BIOS update will allow you to install (and more importantly benefit from it) the later Phenom X3 or X4 CPU's. These are all AM2 processors.
