Im looking to upgrade my Athlon 64 X2 4400+ without replacing my mother board. Here is the CPU support list for the board. Which one would you recommend I upgrade to or do you think the CPU I have is enough? I mostly use my PC to play MMO games like warhammer online.

Current System
8800 GTS
Athlon 64 X2 4400+
4 GB Corsair DDR2 PC2 6400 ram
Windows XP

You can get a 5400 X2 Black edition for around $65 I think. It also might be worth contacting ASUS and seeing if the board supports the new 7750 which is also under $80. But then again it dosent support any Phenoms so...

You should get the best you can afford. If your going to keep the system for a while.

u can upgrade your BIOS to support AM2+ Phenom processors.
Most AM2 Mainboards can work with AM2+ CPUs by upgrating BIOS

If you can get it for a reasonable price sure.
