AMD Athlon 64 X2

I'm probably going to get a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 Brisbane 2.9GHz to replace the CPU i have in my Compaq on my birthday only $60.99 seems like a solid upgrade My brother is going though a rough spot atm lost half his pay for 2 months, lost a rank in the military and can't come home until 2010 ROFL xD he got into some trouble is all I had to say so computer is going to come later

I have one, it's pretty good.
Though I have a 5200+, overclocked to 3GHz, runs fine, haven't touched the voltage yet though, it runs too hot.

Might wanna think about saving the $ and going for a mobo+cpu upgrade so you can overclock it? But other than that... great cpu, but i would recommend a 7750 kuma if your pc supports it.

I was thinking about getting a cheap $50 MB probably going to upgrade to 4 GB of ram will probably show like 3.2 GB because of 32 Bit OS But the main thing that's holding me back is my crappy PSU which is a 250W xD the motherboard I have now is a Socket940 (AM2) I might get a cheap AM2/AM2+ if I have enough money only have $12.40 atm It would have to be Micro ATX I bet

Well this is what I want to get

GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2 AM2+/AM2 $49.99

7750 kuma $59.99

Tuniq TX-2 Cooling Thermal Compound $3.79

Corsair XMS 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800 $46.99
