Right now looking for a new cpu since my x2 5000 isn't good enough...Only restriction is that it needs to be <95w.

Was looking at these;

AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz - $119

AMD Phenom II X4 810 2.6GHz - $144

AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz - $169

Which one has best performance for the price? List another if you think it is better for the price, thanks.

The 720 is the best bang for the buck CPU AMD offers right now, and with your motherboard, is the best option for you.

Yes the 945, and you can probably lower the voltage (which will lower the wattage) if you want to save more heat/electric. My 955 would run at 1.36V if left on automatic but I have it running at 1.20V and could probably get as low as 1.15V.
