Compatible CPU down-grade?

Here in the 3rd world it's difficulty to buy a SATA+IDE MoBo.

For the one that I eventualy found, I bought without the CPU,
which the seller described as a Dual-Core-Celeron.

I had previously only seen chips-with-pins.

The MoBo's spring loaded pins which contact the CPU's lands,
look as if they come up at an angle; which seems strange.
And one in the inner ring seems bent: it's differently lined up.

Since I refuse to be fooled by all this multi-core-crap,
I plan to get the cheapest compatible CPU.
It's just to copy IDE's to SATA.

How many mounting/pin-configurations are there for x86 these days?

The MoBo is marked as a : "PCI express",
and the seller's invoice lists a: e206922 SATA/IDE, which I suspect
is just the serial number.

How do I specify and buy a compatible CPU?

What about different voltage ranges for different CPUs?

== TIA.

The easiest way to copy IDE to SATA might be something like this:

http://www.dustinhome.se/product/5010196616/microconnect-adapter-usb-ide-sata-for-2-5-3-5/#intcmp=searchProvider_SiteSeeker

With such a thing you will make an IDE or a SATA disk appear as a USB
disk.
