You must check your motherboard model to see what range of processors it supports. Download SIW or CPU-Z to get the specific motherboard model, then look it up on the manufacturer's website.
You need to get one with the same socket and/or read the motherboard manual for a list of supported processor types.
What do you mean by regular?
If the processor is socket 939, then you can possibly still pick up socket 939 amd cpu's - but they are pretty obsolete from a price/performance stand point.
