Fast Processor Upgrade

[CactusJoe]

Hi,

I currently have a Phenom II x3 720 Black processor wich is not bad, really.

Thing is while browsing NCIX i found this NCIX.com - Buy AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core Processor AM3 3.4GHZ 8MB Cache 140W 45NM Retail Box - HDZ965FBGIBOX In Canada. AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core Processor AM3 3.4GHZ 8MB Cache 140W 45NM Retail Box.

The lowest price I have found is 267$ at Extreme PC

If you know any lower price, or a time period where I should buy, please let me know.

Otherwise, will this CPU fit on a GA-MA790X-UD4P?
Its not in the support list but maybe...?

Yes the CPU will fit in the GA-MA790X-UD4P...I don't think it's THAT much of an upgrade going from the X3->X4 though...so unless you flip your X3, don't get the X4.

It would be a noticable upgrade only if you are doing thing like 3D rendering and other this like that. Stick with your X3 unless you really want a X4 and have the money for.


Ask for more.

Stick with the x3. Also, I've been meaning to ask a while back but martin, why do you put ask for more at the end of your posts?

[martin_metal_88]

ahahah don't really know. I start doing it when I was working at futureshop putting Ask for more at the end of all my thread and answer so the customer would ask me back again or ask other question they add. It stick to me;) but I like to have it so it's a kind of showing that I am open to answer everything if I start adding info on a subject and a specific person want more of info releated to my answer. I think I am not really clear. You see it work you ask me for more:P sorry was to easy XD. I have been computer seller and techy for years now and it's my way to give more and more service in all the place I am acting, like in the shop a customer come to see me and I always tell if you have more question please call me instead of call my colleague.

Ask for more.
