you dont have to upgrade to DDR3? AM2+ boards will support phenom ii's

Yeah i know it but, i prefer to use with ddr 3 memory. İt needs am3 base. And my current mainboard doesn't support phenom.

I found a 3dmark06 result using a Phenom II 940 here

At 3.00GHz CPU score 4091
At 3.857GHZ CPU score 5086

But this is an ES.

Older Apps get the less likely they will support newer CPUs, considering Futuremark has moved away from 3DM06 to 3DMV. That is the way of the Beast.

I'm pondering it. If a phenom II can outperform a Q6600, my LAN rig and my media rig will be swapping hardware.

It can.
