Did I mess up??

Sorry, the HP motherboard is a socket 754. I just read their website and it said socket A, so I went to newegg, and looked under socket A motherboards, and purchased one.
 
Well if the mobo is socket 754 then "you" did mess up. However, I would place more of the blame on hp.

But you never answered my question...HOW did you find out it is 754?
 
After the new motherboard arrived, I took out the old one, removed the cpu, and and noticed the HP board had socket 754 printed on it.
 
I called Newegg, and they told me to go ahead and order the correct motherboard from them, send the socket A back, and they will waive the restocking fee
 

Base processor and speed
AMD Athlon(64) XP 3200+ running at 2.0 GHz

*
400 MHz Front side bus
*
Socket A

Chipset
nForce3 150



nf3 is a 754 platform
an athlon xp is skt a
400mhz is usually considered with skt a older ranged athlons such as 3000 3200's
