CPU = processor. A particular motherboard will be compatible with many different processors, not just one. The motherboard and CPU are two different parts, and I'd say that it's more like the CPU uses the motherboard than the other way around. The motherboard is there as a platform for the CPU, memory, video card and all other components.

So what you're asking is "What kind of CPUs can be used with this motherboard?".
