Alright I'm trying to match a CPU and mobo together - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103678 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186155

I know to match the socket type and make sure the mobo supports the CPU... but what I don't understand is AMD's HyperTransport. I'm used to matching Intel's FSB, but not HT. Will the CPU and mobo I've linked work together? Will the HT speeds scale to match or what? AMD is irritating me. Any other time, I'd build Intel.

Thanks for the help.
