Athlon XP 2800+ Barton vs Athlon 64 2800+

Ok. I ordered a motherboard not compatible with the Athlon 64 2800+ i ordered along with it. The motherboard is not refundable. What should I do? Try selling the motherboard and buying one that is.. or send the processor back and get one that is compatible, like the Athlon XP 2800+ Barton?

Would I be losing a lot? Thanks
 
Personally, I would sell teh board and get a used one her on the FS forum 🙂 The Athlon 64 2800 is alot better than the xp2800 for gaming 🙂
 
honestly, check... I do my trading here and on other boards because I don't like dealing with ebay, but when I do, I end up making significantly more than here. For instance, I have a 500 MHz laptop that I was thinking about selling and I just sold one for a friend on ebay for $330. I doubt I would get close to that much here or on any board as there are a lot of better deals to be had by those savvy enough to do their trading online.
