Humm, purpose of upgrade? gaming?

if you open pc 24 hours and mostly on 2d (or idle) mode, i think its fine. Or try to consider Athlon II X4 620

24 hours downloading only. I dont play games, but sometimes multi-tasking with adobe illustrator and photoshop, movie editing and converting etc. My current processor AMD Athlon X2 4000+ seems cannot keep up with my work hahaha ( considering my pc graphic setting which is heavy and many prog running ) I RELI WANT to put Athlon II x4 620 unfortunately my pc doesn't support AM3 socket

. Left me with no option other than Phenom II 920

What's your motherboard?

as far as I know, most of recently AM2+ motherboard do support AM3 cpu. You need to check your motherboard bios/CPU support list at the website.

yep, the top one is 965BE, for gaming, it can be compared to Core i7 920 on stock setting.

for others, go google some reviews.

Real cores always better than virtual cores,

but AMD Thuban might not be able to be top performer, but imo it will be AMD new flagship.

this one use AM3, but compatible with AM2+ socket too (with bios update)
no Phenom II X3 default clock at 3.0Ghz?

720BE only operates at 2.8GHz le....
X3 740 would be operating at 3.0GHz with C3 stepping

Thuban is not yet released

AM3 compatible, but speculated to support AM2+ motherboard with split power plane

AMD supports over dual channel only, NO triple channel
If you looking forward for more channel, wait for BullDozer
