| | Quad core? I'm thinking about buying this: Newegg.com - AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops to replace this that I have now: Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Black Edition Processor - Processors - Desktops I could also get this combo if I buy the quad core: Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! which would be good because right now I'm using the integrated ATI Radeon X1200 Think its worth it? Will it make that much of a difference? (I'm getting a video card anyway so my question is more for whether the processor is worth it) |

| | Hello tdk08. I believe you now have an AM2 socket and the Quad requires an AM2+; the problem is that the AM2+ is not backward compatible. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Later  Ted |

| | Howdy. What a shame the mobo can use a Quad and whoever built it put a dual in it....  I'd do it if I were you. What PSU do you have in it? Later Ted |
