I'm getting AMD Phenom X4 9750 Quad Core Processor - 2.40GHz, 4MB Cache, 3600 MT/s FSB, Quad-Core, Socket AM2+, OEM Processor at TigerDirect.com that, to replace Dual-Core AMD Athlon? X2 Processor for Desktops
that one.

There is nothing wrong with it, I just want to upgrade. I found a good deal online, so I am going to take it while I have the funds.

(other processor is for sale for 50 bucks :P)

I don't need anything more than 2.4 haha. It's a quad core, so it will be able to handle pretty much anything I want to throw at it.

So you are just changing it because it is slower than you want?

I would love to do that, but I have to save up for a cobra motor for my PICV :P.

Then it will really kick ***!

I'm changing because it has started to slow down. That and it's 2 years old, I've been looking to upgrade for a while now. The new one is more orientated towards what I need it to do

I am so pissed at windows right now. I had a crash and had to reinstall it.

Windows says I have to validate it, and when I try it tells me I have the wrong key.

I am copying the key off the ****ing case!!!
