I'd like to upgrade my CPU pretty soon, especially since the Phenoms are coming down in price. I'm debating on the Athlon X2 6000+ versus the Phenom 9950 X4 Black Ed. My concern is that my chipset will not be able to keep up with processor. Any advice?

My system:
ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe, Nvidia 570 chipset
Athlon X2 5000+
Zalman 9500 heatsink
8800 GT's in SLI
2gb XMS2 Corsair
650watt Thermaltake psu
160gb HD
75gb Raptor
ASUS SATA optical drive

You'll be fine, the M2N SLI Deluxe has a hell of a FSB.
