Title: GA-M56S-S3 - CPU ?
Post by: soloxuk on November 30, 2009, 10:12:09 pm

Hello,

I have a GA-M56S-S3 motherboard.

I have £60 to spend.

Basically the best chip for the money really...

My two options were:

AMD Athlon II 425 X3 Socket AM3 512MB L2 Cache (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176042/add_product_review)

or

AMD Athlon X2 240 2.8GHz Socket AM3 2MB (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/168971)

Can anyone better these or recommend one??

Regards,

Lawrence.

Hi,
It all depends on what you want from your PC,
Web browsing, gaming, video editing,O/clocking,
Only you can decide!


Get the biggest fastest shinyist one with big numbers is what I would do,
