Hi there everyone!
(excuse my bad english)
I got a lot of questions, because i plan to upgrade my actual processor to a new one, i hope somebody around here, can help me to make a choice.
my actual machine are:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ @ 2.7 GHZ
MSI K9AGM3 (BIOS Already Updated to support AM2+ CPU - Phenom X3 or X4)
4Gb DDR2 - 800Mhz
ATI Radeon HD 3870 512Mb GDDR4 Oc Edition (MSI)
Maxtor Sata II - 7200Rpm - 250GB
Thermaltake PurePower 500W
and other Stuff.
I want to upgrade my Proc. to a AMD Phenom X3 8450 @ 2.1Ghz
The Questions are:
1. Its a significant upgrade from the X2 5200+ to X3 8450?
2. What happens with Speed?? this change comes from 2.7Ghz to 2.1Ghz... Differences?? What is more important, more Cache or more clock Speed???
3. My X2 is 65W, now, the X3 i plan to purchase is 95W!!!! that means more power supply power??? more heat from the proc.?? may i need to change my power supply??
4. With this change, i see more boost on games like crysis or new ones that are really thougt and consumes a lot of CPU??
i plan to buy this Proc. and no better one, because my budget is limited. i dont get the money.
Tnx!
