Question

CPU Replacement

by Oct 4, 2012 12:59AM PDT

Hi, recently my CPU died, so I'm looking to replace it. Before I say what I was looking at my computer specs are:

HP Pavilion Special Edition a6745f (approx. 2 years old)
Windows Vista 64-bit
Here is a link of my old CPU (scroll down for info in link): http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Athlon-X2-5050e-2-6-GHz-Dual-Core-Processor-w-heatsink-fan-/290611151023

Here is the one I'm wondering about: :AAQ:US:1123">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200827666499&ssPageName=ADMELove:AAQ:US:1123

Would that one be a compatible replacement? Thanks in advance.
