I kind of asked this in another posting but got no response. I have a motherboard that takes only up to 95w motherboards. I was thinking of upgrading to a 1055t, but I see that Fry's now has the 1077t at 125w for $180
I have an AMD 780G motherboard - GA-MA78GM-S2H (rev. 1.1). Link:

1. Are there any technical reasons why the 1055T would be wasted in this slightly older motherboard?
2. I need a 95w version to get on the supported cpu list for that motherboard. My current cpu is an athlon x2 4200, and according to anandtech, this new motherboard would be much faster (http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/37?vs=147).
3. Can I underclock the 1077t successfully and run it or not? I've never underclocked anything before.
I use this system for windows 7 media center, and have a vision of some recoding.
