Dearest th53-- this is a prime example of why you must must must reasearch your parts before you buy them. Many electronic items are non-returnable-- and in the case of a CPU or something costing $500.00 US or more this can be a CATASTROPHE. You got very lucky this time-- if you have questions about compatibilty-- CALL the manufacturer-- they're not going to sell you a product you cannot use... it would not be good business-- or Public Relations to do so...!! DO NOT buy anything on impulse or based on web advice-- what works for them might NOT work for you ! Be careful --there's a lot of vultures out there who care about money and naught else
