Would an Athlon II X4 635 be a good upgrade

[jaretstuff]

I would like to play bf3 and my old athlon 64 x2 doesn't cut it anymore. I would like to upgrade to an am3 athlon II x4 635. Would it be worth the money My rig is an asus m2n sl with 6 gb of corsair ram and a 470 with a 450 w power supply. Plz reply quick

Yes the cpu is compatible with a bios update, and should work fine being a am3 cpu

How much frame rate increase would I see going from a 2.2 to a 2.9 quaad

with a 470gtx i say ud say better fps and higher settings, as the cpu can process more than the dual core, and allows the gpu to work more
