Hey guys,
I'm really considering an upgrade for my computer. Would you think a Phenom CPU will work with my motherboard? It has a maximum TDP rating of 65W from a cheap power design. Currently I'm using the Athlon X2 BE-2400 with a TDP of 45W. I really can't afford a new motherboard right now. Also, given that my usage of the computer is basically listening to music, surfing forums, playing RA3 and watching HDTV and DVDs, do you think its worth an upgrade?
