AMD CPU AM2 9950 Phenom 64 Quad Core
I have the same board minus the wifi part. And like the guy above i can only mirror what he says. This is a great CPU. fast! Even at stock speed, it rips through video conversion. Buy a 64bit version of your OS to get even better performance. Nice smooth feel to watching online video. Gaming is superb.So is the price!
AMD Quad
I have purchased this along with a M3n78 Pro and 8 gigs of black dragon quad channel ram. It runs so nice and handles everything I can throw at it so far. Multi applications, its like a land mine on my computer, but this processor keeps going. Really great price for quad core.
