Hi there, I use a ASUSTek A7V600-X (ancient, yes i know) and I recently thought about updating my cpu, AMD Sempron 2600+ (again, ancient i know). I've searched on google and what came up was that my mobo uses a Socket A or Socket 754 for cpu's. My problem lies in figuring out what to do about this because I've seen threads that say socket 462 is the same as socket A.

I'm confused right now about the whole thing and whether 462 will work with a socket 754. Also confused about whether 754 or 462 or both will work on a socket A. I'm planning to get an AMD Athlon XP 3000+(socket 462, a) or a 3700+ (socket 754), depending on which one my mobo will support. Help me out here. Thanks!
