Hey Droids

Are any of these worth looking at for ~$80?

AMD Phenom II x4 910
AMD Phenom x4 9550
AMD Phenom x4 9150
AMD Phenom x4 9850

Thanks

joke?

9850 can be had around that price range, and is a good proc, with the unlockable multiplier. But the p2 would be amazing at that price.

omg the p2... for 80? unbelievable price

Nothing else is even close to worth buying. the P2 wins hands down. First generation phenoms suck. I had a 9950 and that thing was the top of the line phenom.

Oops i misread. Thought it said Phenom II 940. Even so, 80 dollars is a very good price on it

So the 910 is about the only thing worth looking at?

What about these?

athlon 64 x2 ADO5400IAA5DO 2.8GHz
athlon 64 x2 ADO4600IAA5DO 2.4GHz
athlon 64 x2 ADO5000IAA5DO 2.6GHz
athlon 64 X2 ADA6000IAA6CZ 3.0GHz

At that price, either the Ph II 910 or the Ph 9850. Personally I would go for the 910.

realize that the 910 is only OEM and cannot be bought... They are usually on HP and Dell computers if Im not mistaken

The X2s are old... about 4-5 years old. When Athlon 64 first came into the market, no intel chip could touch it.

When Intel came out with the duo, AMD's response to it was the X2. It couldnt touch the Intel...

So for 80 bucks, its not worth it. Its slighty faster than a E6600 but slower than a E6700.

I hope this helps you

The 3.0 GHZ Athlon... Are you refering to the 6000+?

lol he could of just wrote that instead of those string of numbers and letters

 

[pioneerisloud]

The 910 or the 9850 would both be great at that price. The 910 would obviously be faster, and possibly even OC higher, but the 9850 isn't bad.

 

[Weedvender]

The Phenom II dude.

 

[Zeifer]

The Athlon II 250 is 3.0GHz stock.

 

[terence52]

i will take the 910 anyways.

htt ocing is not tat bad

 

[Zeifer]

I'd honestly go for an Athlon II X3 or something, or a fewer core Phenom II if possible. The 910 can't have a good stock clock.

I heard that 64 X2 7750/ 7850 BE can be unlocked to 4 cores and 6/8 MB L3 CACHE
now even that makes sense
otherwise go for 910

It can be unlocked but the L3 Cache stays the same -> http://www.techpowerup.com/92330/Ath...Quad-Core.html

How can a 65nm part have the same cache as a redesigned 45nm part?

Pii 910.
