Pick from the listed CPU's. The one is question is listed amoung them, so yes it should work.

unfortunately always b series processor, but this processor series is not sold on the market. I want to learn : Would work Phenom cpu for end user on my computer ? (I think B series Cpu for OEM Manufacturer)

My bad. I misread the CPU that you asked about. The AMD Phenom II X2 B55 and all of the listed CPU's are the B type.
The Phenom II X2 555 comes up as a "BE" which typically means a "Black Edition". The BIOS mostly will not accept that CPU. You will need to stay with the listed CPU's.

In a comparison between the two,( Phenom II X2 555 and the Phenom II X2 B55) it should work. Give it a try. I think that will be the only way to know for sure
