If you feel your cpu is bottle necking your computers performance this will deinatly chang that. Pros: Quad-core AMD. I was able to replace my athlon x2 2. What an improvement! Everything runs faster, renders fast, games play great. I didn't realize just how hot those athlon x2 run. My phenom overclocked to 2. Didn't see that coming. How old is this board???? What a cheap upgrade until the new intel's come out and get a reasonable price tag.
Cons: I benchmarked this processor against an Intel quad q 2. Using just about the same hardware and Vista bit, the Intel running at 2. Not by much, but if I overclocked the , it would have killed the Phenom. Intel's are faster, face it. Intel needs the competition, for sure. That's why they are so expensive. At least AMD chips are cheap! Overall Review: If your running an AMD setup for games and light graphics, right now, this is the chip to get!!!
No question. It will be the best upgrade for the price you will ever make, especially if your running a dual core athlon like I was. I have always been an AMD guy. But my next machine will be an Intel. I need more horsepower and AMD can't deliver anymore. If you are just a gamer and that is it, AMD is the way to go. You don't need an Extreme quad-core at bucks to play anygame out there.
Save your money and go with AMD. Invest it in a good graphics card and fast memory. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked.
