CPU Compatibility with XFX 8200

I've got the 95W XFX 8200 MIA78S8209 mb with an AMD x2 4800+. CPU bottle necks everything, even at 3.0 oc. My 9800GT needs more for games and I thought the Phenom II 945 would help. Now the XFX site says that the 945 is not compatible because of the 125W but http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103696 there is a 945 that is 95W. My question is will this be compatible with my board. I thought AM3 was out until I saw this http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/prod [...] t-AMD.pdf. I was planning a hole new system but now I can get 3.0 quad with my current. I don't want to spend $170 and plug it in to find either nothing or sparks. This whole super compatibility of AMD is cost efficient but confusing.

It's not an AMD thing (or even Intel which is the same deal). It's a motherboard thing. You must absolutely check the motherboard manufacture's web site for processor and bios compatibility before upgrading.
