ASUS/FX-6100 Compatibility

[rakhter]

Question: The CPU compatibility list for the ASUS "Crosshair V Formula" motherboard says that it is compatible with the FX-6100 model #FD6100WMW6KGU. However, I was planning on buying the only FX-6100 offered by Newegg, the model #FD6100WMGUSBX. Does this slight difference in model number indicate that the processor I purchase will not be compatible with the ASUS motherboard?

Compatibility list: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/Crosshair_V_Formula/#CPUS

I know compatiblity is key, and I just wanted to be clear on this before purchasing anything.

BTW, I was actually wanting to purchase the Sabertooth mobo from ASUS, would anyone recommend one over the other?

Thanks

It's the same thing. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-6100.html It'll be just fine.

As far as the difference in the two boards goes, that's really up to you.
