Well I have come here to ask something from you all. Well I am a descent gamer and I am looking for a new processor for my system. so i was thinking to get a processor. I am still using the same windows xp operating system and hence I am also thinking to upgrade to a windows 7 operating system. on doing some extensive research for the processors that will fit my bill. I came across the AMD X2 6000+ and also the Agena-based Phenom processor. I thought both of them fits in my budget category. So i want you all to decide whether which one would be a perfect for me. So I am hoping that you will add some suggestions here and will help me in making my decision.

According to me AMD X2 6000+ would be a good option for you, simply because it has a good processing power. I am also a gamer and I personally use it. It’s been 2 years since I have brought this processor and I had no issues with it. This processor does support you to do multiple tasks and hence will help you In several ways. As in terms of overclocking speed is concerned I think it is quite ok and overclocks sometimes up to 3.5GHz. So this is what I have to say about the particular processor. Do have a look at them and decide accordingly.

Well according to me a phenom II tri-core processor would be a good option for you. I think it will easily come under your budget. The great thing about this particular processor is that it has the capacity to outclass any classic phenom and the athlon processors. So I think this would be a better option for you. Many of my friends who are the users of this a phenom II tri-core processors say it is a really cool processor and it does deliver you the performance. The AMD X2 6000 processor is quite a hot processor and does makes your system very hot. So it is better to stick with a cool processor and the best e.g of a phenom II tri-core processor is the AMD Phenom II X3 720 processor. So go for it it will not disappoint you.

Wel lthe solution is quite simple if you cannot go with or you cannot afford to get a phenom II tri-core processor then the best option would be to go with the AMD X2 6000+ processor. Do not go with the other processor that you were talking about. Since I have not heard much about it and it does not sounds as a good processors. AMD X2 6000+ is a quite descent processor and is a quite old processor. I am amazed that you are not looking for some other new processors that are available in the market. so do have a look at them and I am quite sure that you will like it.

I think AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Processor would be a good option if you are thinking of doing some good gaming stuff at a cheap rate. Also one more thing that I would like to add here is that one of my friend has got a Phenom 9850 processor at a cost of $129. So I think this would be a good option for you as well. As per my research I have found out that it is much better than the phenom II processor in terms of speed as well as the performance and stability. So you can have a look at that as well. So I hope you are clear with all the suggestions.

I will have a look at the internet regarding this particular offer and will inform you on what I have finally decided. Anyways thanks for all the efforst that you have put in here to solve my issue.
