I have an amd Athlon II x2 250 processor. It is clocked at 3 ghz and I want something a bit more faster. Is the Amd Athlon II x2 270 clocked at 3.4 ghz be a good upgrade. I'm not too big into gaming, just need something a bit faster.

It would be a very small upgrade. If you can, get a phenom II x4. If your MB doesn't support it, get a athlon II x3.

Get a phenom II x4 965 or 945 if you can. The athlon II x3 I'd much better then the X2. Not only that, but the X3 can potentially be "unlocked" into a phenom II x4 if you get lucky. Hope this helps.

In a sense. To explain, the athlon II x3s were initially phenom II x4s, but they weren't stable enough on one core. For this reason the core got disabled( along with the L3) and called an Athlon II x3. Some CPUs however have the capability of unlocking that fourth core and the L3 cache. That is what I'm referring to.
