You more than likely need to keep the default processor in the DA model machine and do a firmware update from Sonnett to make it recognize the new cpu. Once that has been done, you should be able to transfer the CPU over. I recommend using Arctic Silver for your contact paste, but any should work fine for a 1GHz CPU. Once you flash the firmware of your DA to accept the new CPU, shut down, pull old processor, put new processor in, press cuda reset button, power on and see if she will boot. =)
