Processor Upgrades on a Motherboard

[Vicious38]

I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP-939 but I may not be able to buy my Processor... AMD Athlon? 64 FX-53 Boxed Processor I may not be able to buy till October 31st... However say a Better AMD Processor like FX-55 comes out, will this motherboard support it? Or would I have to get another one...

It should support any Socket939 Athlon64 processor. Dual-core support is a bit iffier (they're supposed to be pin-compatible, but the motherboard might need to add support), but definitely any single-core Socket939 CPU in the A64 or AFX line should work.
