I have a Compaq machine that is due for a cpu upgrade and was wondering what the best processor it will support is. I know it will support phenom x4 9xx with a 95 watt tdp, however in one of the bios updates, there is a note that states "added support for the AMD 125W C2 processor." I am not sure what processors this applies to. Should I upgrade to the x4 945 or is there something better that falls under the category of that note? thanks for the help.
