Phenom II 555 BE

[dredg98]

What kind of performance increase would i see from a Pentium D 915 to a Phenom II X2 555BE in gaming? Motherboard is GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L 1066 ddr2 ram 6gb?

You will see a substantial performance increase but you will need a new AM3 motherboard to support the Phenom II.

its for my bro in law i was going to get a asrock 890gx (not a top of a line games) and 2x2gb of 1333 DDR3 Rams

It is a major upgrade! What GPU are you matching it with?

 

[dredg98]

he has a 5770 xfx

 

[rolli59]

Even better upgrade since the HD5770 cant stretch its legs paired with the pentium D!
