My system is having MSI K9A2VM-FIH motherboard and I am willing to upgrade the cpu of the same. It was having AMD Athlon II X2 and somehow it turned out faulty. This time I want to get the best cpu for the board. I don’t have any issues with the price but I want to get the best Compatible cpu for the board. Is there anyone who has an idea about the same and can help me out with some options so that I can choose the best from it??
how about a amd phenom x4 955 black edition it is for am3 socket but will work fine on ur mobo (am2+) u need 2 update ur bios if necessary
I think that AMD Athlon II X3 will be the best option for you, I have been using the same and I have not yet faced any issues with it, there are other options as well but I prefer AMD Athlon II X3. If you are interested in the same then you can check out its below models:
- AMD Athlon II X3 400e - AD400EHDK32GI (AD400EHDGIBOX)
- AMD Athlon II X3 405e - AD405EHDK32GI (AD405EHDGIBOX)

With my MSI K9A2VM-FIH motherboard and trust me it just works very well. I have not yet faced any issues with the same and I am quite sure even you won’t. Through my experience with it by now I can say that it is one if the best and Compatible cpu for MSI K9A2VM-FIH. You can go through the key specification of the same:
- Frequency - 2600 MHz
- Bus speed- 533 MHz Memory controller, One 2000 MHz 16-bit HyperTransport link
- Clock multiplier- 13
- Data width- 64 bit
- The number of cores-4
- The number of threads-4
- Level 2 cache size- 4 x 512 KB 16-way set associative caches
- Level 3 cache size- 2 MB 32-way set associative shared cache
I will like to inform you that AMD Sempron is the best and it is just better than AMD Phenom X4, AMD Phenom X3, AMD Phenom II X6, AMD Phenom II X4, AMD Phenom II X3, AMD Phenom II X2 etc. I think any model of AMD Sempron will work great with MSI K9A2VM-FIH. I will suggest you to get AMD Sempron 64 3800+. The AMD Sempron processor families are really the best processors for MSI K9A2VM-FIH. All models of AMD Sempron processor family support K7 architecture as well as K8 architecture.
the amd sempron i s "value for money" cpu
is you go to amd's official site and compare sempron with phenom ii x4
phenom over takes sempron in everything
if money is not a matter my advice would be amd phenom ii x4
srry in my previous post i ment amd phenom ii (not amd phenom):thumbup1:
I will suggest you to get AMD Sempron 64 LE-1300 - SDH1300IAA4DP (SDH1300DPBOX), I really think that it is the best as compared to the specs and features it is delivering. Juts check out short specification and feature of it:

If you are going for AMD Sempron then get any one form below one’s. You will never regret on your decision of choosing for choosing the same further.

can some one please explain me the difference(comparison) between amd sempron and amd phenom ii x4
why r ull saying sampron over phenom
amds official site comparison shows phenom is better than sempron :notworthy
I think that Amd Sempron processors are single core, if I remember it properly where else Amd Phenom ii processors are quad core, so you can guess that you will obviously get 4x speed in comparison, although both can run Windows 7 efficiently but for more performance and output, one can definitely go with the Phenom ii processors.Quote:
