Upgrading Compaq SR1710NX to dual-core processor?
I recently bought a Compaq Presario SR1710NX. The stock processor is an AMD Sempron 3400+ 2.0GHz. The motherboard specs are here:

I'd like to upgrade the computer to a dual-core processor. I know the processor has to be socket 939, but I'm having trouble figuring out which specific processor to buy. The Newegg website lists these dual-core AMD processors:

Would any of these work? If so, do the more-expensive processors really boost performance significantly more than the cheaper ones?
Any guidance here would be helpful. I'm particularly interested in whether an Opteron-type processor would work, even though it's not listed on the official HP motherboard specs (but I've heard through the grapevine that it would work anyway).
Thanks in advance for any help.
It really depends up to what your motherboard will support. Also, the dual cores have a higher wattage. The power supply should be strong enough to support dual cores too.
