I think most any socket a cpu would work. I think they make up to 3200+ barton core cpus. There also are semprons which are cheaper.

^basically take your pick from the above(if your in the us).

Contrary to what your linked website is saying, that motherboard does not support Athlon64s. You'd need an AthlonXP or any other Socket-A CPU as vnf4ultra said.
