AMD Upgrade?
Hey
Right now I have an AMD FX-53 processor (AMD Athlon 64 2.4Ghz) with a A8V Deluxe mobo with 3gigs of ram. I was looking to upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 Toledo 2.6GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor.
I was wondering if I did this processor upgrade it could just be a swap of the processors? Or if there is something else or new I would need to get.
Also would it be worth to upgrade to this one or maybe anther processor.
Thanks

I'm with Callandor for what a Fx-60 costs you could buy a e6600 (faster than the fx-62) and new motherboard with the nvidia 680i chipset for less than what the fx-60 costs

What about this combo? How fast would this be?

Sorry, that's an empty shopping cart. I think you have to save it for others to see it.
