I just dont have the money to upgrade everything, since my mobo says it supports amd+, and the am3, is also capable with the amd+, and i also have heard people, using this motherboard with the new phenoms. So my biggest question is,. "Would this processor work with my current motherboard"? If i just poped it in, would it run, without any problems? Could you guys please help me out?
And also, do you think its worth getting the new phenom? Or should i just buy the 65nm one? For 30-40$ Cheaper? Give me your opinions if you can! THANKS SOO MUCH !
Oh okay, thanks, i am thinking of upgrading! Hopefully in a month or two, Till i save some money. I have a athlon x2 4800+, at 2.5ghz. I am tired of it, it makes me lag in most games, and o lose fps. Are the phenom II, Same socket ? They use the same socket as the am2, right? I am just wodering? So you think that the phenom II, are a better pick over the 65nm ones? Thanks alot! Time to save another 100-150$!lol!! Hopefully it will give some increase in performance, over my 4800+? Think so?
Phenom II wipes the floor with Phenom. I assume you're going to get the X4 920 or 940, for the AM2+ socket. Its $190 for 920 and $230 for 940 BE. Phenom is cheaper, but you will find that II will wipe the floor with it.
