I cant find these processors anywhere anymore and if I do they are $150+ 250$ why! they were worth around $90 its out of stock everywhere are they extinct now? I currently have a gigabyte M68M-S2P and I will not be upgrading mobo anytime soon! and in my opinion for my gaming computer that's the best processor I cant find on it based on the specs of my mobo! what do I do now?! if I cant find it what would be the best bang for the buck next processor? that will go with my mobo settings?

The very best processor you can run with that motherboard would be the Phenom II X6 1100t, a six core processor. Go to Amazon and type in "phenom II x6" and you'll see that there are several X6 models starting at $100 and up.

I'm still rocking a Phenom II X4 955BE overclocked to 3.6ghz and it's been nothing but outstanding. Doesn't bottleneck my dual Radeon 270X's at all, and that's not bad for a 5+ year old processor :)

Fired up BF4 and sure enough, I was getting a slight bottleneck. So I went to Newegg and charged a new AMD FX-8320 and AsRock 990FX motherboard to my credit card...so thanks for that lol I'm sure my wife will be thrilled :/
