Generally, the Athlon II X3 would be the better choice, especially if you are multitasking.

If you are referring to adding a signature, go to the top left of the blue toolbar above the advertisements, click where it says "User CP", and on the user CP page look over to the left for "Edit Signature".

The GA-MA770-DS3 does not support Athlon II/Phenom II CPU's, FYI.

The AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz outperforms the Athlon II X3 2.3GHz in gaming because of the higher clock. And generally, the Athlon II's will save more energy and generate less heat. The Athlon II X2 255 is only $3 more and it has 3.1GHz clock speed.

Now if you want a good triple core, you can get this for only $7 more, but keep in mind it's gonna consume more energy, etc etc...

depends on the game, many games these days are becoming far more multithreaded, and some games you pretty much need a quad to play effectively, let alone a triple or dual core.

Really? That's a coincidence, because I was looking at this processor not too long ago...

What do you think about that processor?

Great budget quad, they clock relatively nicely as well. Although....the 620 is $10 cheaper, and its not that hard to get an extra 300mhz out of an athlon II even on the stock cooler.

If you have the Rev 2.0 of the board it supports the Athlon II/Phenom II. But not the Rev 1.0
