is the pal 8150 compatable with socket 939?

[lozina]

just want to make absolute sure because the manual only mentions socket 940, no mention of socket 939 anywhere, and the newegg description does not specify sockets- just says it's for 'athlon 64' processors.

also, the motherboard came with some kind of plastic mounting piece i guess designed for amd's stock HS, just remove it and use the metal base for mounting hs right?

thansk, it's been a while since i've done this so i'm just trying to be absoutely sure i dont mess up

The manual only mentions Opteron, because of date. But, it is really universal K8 heatsink. The sockets change, but the mounting mechnanisim is the same.
