Hi,

Currently my plex media 'server' is struggling when more than one person stream remotely. It's a old, old box.

Anyways, I had someone give me a ga-880gm-d2h rev 1.4 that supports AM3.

What's considered 'the best' CPU for this motherboard? Don't need integrated graphics or anything, it's running linux and just needs to 'transcode'.

Thanks!
