AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition - HD995ZXAJ4BGH (HD995ZXAGHBOX) is the 125W version.
AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition - HD995ZFAJ4BGH (HD995ZFAGHBOX) is the 140W version.
You'll want to make sure you get the right part.
For the BIOS upgrade - it should be on the Dell website.

Considering I paid $130 for a Phenom 9850 back in early 09 I would have to agree. Lets not forget the fact that you can get a new CPU/motherboard/DDR3 ram for less than most of those prices and have better performance.

What is your budget? Here in the UK you can knock up a Phenom II, mobo and DDR3 RAM for about £140. In the US i think microcenter gives a free mobo with a 960T (or it did not so long ago somebody was getting one in another thread) so $140-ish including some DDR3 RAMYeah they do seem a bit high... Didnt want to spend more than $150. Just looking for a CPU upgrade right now, saving for a big i7 rig sometime in the near future. scratch that, far future...

yeah if this goes for a good price then maybe... Anyone know of any Co. that still sell these?
ALSO the main reason for upgrading is that NFS The Run (no matter how low or high) I set the settings, I only get 15FPS MAX! I can play MW3 on everything ultra and BF3 on high... Anyone know what gives? I think its my CPU as it is running 100% all the time on games and NFS The Run is only using 50% of the Graphics Card.... (and 100% of the CPU)
Specs, (yes, I know, old...)
Dell Dimension C521
Amd Athlon 64x2 6000+ 3.01GHZ
4GB of DDR2 Ram
EVGA 9800GT SC
160GB 7200RPM HHD
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
BTW how do I upload pics?? Thanks

One more thing, the eBay seller of the above CPU says he played an "enormous amount of games on the processer". (For a year ish) Should that worry me and should I be looking toward a new one or not?
Edit: I asked for the temps, (still wating on those) says it was overclocked to 2.8GHZ on an ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm Ceramic CPU Cooler.

I'm not too concerned that a lot of games were run on it for a over a year.
If he'd had it overclocked (it IS a Black Edition after all) I'd worry more over that if I knew it had been pushed to it's limit and THEN gamed hard for a year.
Really, nothing more in the way of options online has turned up.
The used CPU is the only one I think gives you a decent option on price.

Ok thanks for the fast reply! Lets say I get this, I have been told that if put in an AM2 slot that I cant use the L3 Cache. Is this true?
Also what is the fastest graphics card I can get without bottlenecking this CPU? (has to be single slot.)
Biggest difference between AM2 & AM2+ is Hypertransport AM2 being HT2.0 and AM2+ being HT3.0. L3 cache is actually a processor function and not a motherboard function, so yes you will be able to use the L3 cache with your AM2 board.
As far as your other question on the fastest GPU you can use, for reference I'm using a 9950 BE but its a 140w version and I have it overclocked to 3.1ghz - I just recently purchased a AMD 7870 and all the games I've tried so far run great, albeit I'm sure I would yield some better frames/performance with lets say a 2500k but for now I'm happy with it.

Ahh I see, I thought it might be because it wasnt an Am2+. Ok that makes more sense.
Im planning on OCing it to 3.0GHZ (Im guessing a 15X muliplyer will do the trick) I have a scythe shrunkin low profile cpu cooler with some AC5.
Im thinking about just keeping the 9800GT in for now hopefully upgrade soon.

Or a sparkle one GTX 570.

I have a similar setup as you, OP. How did the upgrade to the Phenom go?I actually never did the upgrade. The AM2 slot in the Dell machine didnt like the Phenom causing it to hang up and not POST. I ended up going used with an intel with a core 2 quad extreme QX6800. Transferred all my parts over to an Optiplex machine and it runs great. Sold old parts and got the whole thing (including a GTX 650 ti SSC and Crucial 256gb SSD) for $170.
Hope this helps!
