and i also found the athlon ii x3 455 in the best cpu for the money article because my budget 60~100.
the mobo support am2+ .. dose am3 cpu work at am2+ mobo ?
just give me your recommendations .. thatx

why no one posted any thing

955 is not support .. only 95w cpu works

phenom ii x3 720 VS athlon ii x3 455

2.8ghz 3.3ghz

L3/6mb L2 only



wich one for Gaming basically.. am not going to overclock.
i can't find any bechmarks

if you cant get up enough to get the x4 910, the 800 series is the exact same cpue but with less L3 cache

let me add this, I replaced an phenom II x2 (255 i think it was) in my grandsons pc with an X3 720 and its a good gamer! Overall the system even feels more responsive. If you have a cooler already youo can get the OEm version. I pd $50 for it new.

hows this for $85?:

remember the phenom 720 can overclock well too.

OEM just means it doesnt come with a CPU cooler, and any cooler that says that it supports the AM3 socket will fit on that motherboard, just make sure the cooler will fit in your case.

because OEM processors don't come with coolers. (and anyway the stock coolers that come with the C3 stepping AMD processors are quite loud imo).

yes it is, your PC won't work without one.
