I am going to be upgrading my Athlon Dual Core 3.0 ghz to a Phenom X6. I just have one concern at the moment. My motherboard has a list of processors that it supports. And under the list, there are only three Phenom X6 models. Here's the link if you want to see yourself.

The Phenom X6 I have my eye on has a different model number than three in the list. Should I be fine though? I have enough power supply, and the one I want fits an AM3. (Which as you can see is what my motherboard fits). Also, the Phenom is only 2.7 ghz, wouldn't this be slower than my Athlon that is 3.0 ghz?
