AMD Phenom II X4 960T Zosma vs Phenom II X4 955 BE

[sirion25]

Hi.

I was planning on putting a phenom x4 955 BE into my new budget gaming build im putting together this month.

however i see the x4 960T Zosma just went on sale and costs about the same as a 955 BE. Whats the difference between these 2 cpus? I know the zosma can *maybe* unlock to 6 cores but it also says that its 3.0 GHZ vs 3.2Ghz on the 955.

Can anyone shed some light?

thanks

What's a good mobo for this cpu? Preferrably in the $100 range.
