This motherboard uses a style called Socket A. Socket A has 453 pins, so yes it will work with the processor you are wanting to use with this motherboard. Also, this is an AMD board, so getting an Intel CPU won't work, must get a AMD processor with this machine. Hope this helps!
the core should not matter either. the difference is Palomino core (0.18 micron) to the Thoroughbred (0.13 micron) which was simply a die shrink, AMD has added something new to the mix this time around. They have incorporated an extra 256KB of L2 cache into the core, thus giving it a grand total of 512 KB L2 cache.The more cache your CPU has, it could boost performance 10%.
