Answer:
Athlon 64 Dual Core uses AM2 socket
but notmal Athlon 64 uses socket 939

check what kind of socket you have on your M/B
It should be compatible with your motherboard. all you would have to do is update the motherboard BIOS, to recognize both processors. the 4200 is only 2.2 GHz. so 2.19 is accurate. and not all dual core processors are am2 socket, there are socket 939 dual core amd processors. am2 is for DDR2 memory.
