Any decent Socket 939 motherboard with an AGP or PCI Express chipset can host the Athlon 64 FX-60. It only has to be capable of supplying enough power to the processor. This can be checked by consulting either the motherboard manual (if it supports FX, it will technically support the FX-60) or by browsing the motherboard manufacturer's Website for an updated BIOS version, which almost all motherboard makers offer.

Nothing was changed inside the chip: There are two Athlon 64 cores on a single die, which is manufactured with AMD's 90 nm SOI process. SOI means silicon on insulator and refers to insulating layers that divide each of the structural layers in order to prevent leakage currents as much as possible. Leakage is responsible for high heat dissipation and thermal problems with Intel's 90 nm Pentium D and Pentium 4 processors.

Each core comes with its own 1 MB L2 cache. A crossbar switch allow for each core access to access the other core's L2 cache, while Intel's devices must utilize the Front Side Bus for every access.

AMD still offers the NX-bit (non-execute) feature, which helps to prevent buffer overflows within the main memory, AMD64 extensions and the energy-conserving Cool & Quiet capability. The latter, which requires BIOS support, allows the OS to ratchet down the clock speed to as low as 1 GHz to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation.
