Will an Athlon 2000MP processor (Socket A 462)work in a single processor motherboard? My Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW dual processor motherboard died and I don't want to spend the money to replace it; however, single-processor socket A motherboards are less expensive.
I e-mailed Antec. They stated that my PSU appeared to be defective; however, it's not covered under the three year warranty anymore, so I bought an Antec Neo HE 550 yesterday. I guess I should have read the box concerning cable quantity and type before leaving the store, because when I got home...

I haven't run the computer without all of the boards and drives removed, I...
