Well, currently I have a 3700 San Diego CPU in the old ASRock Dual Sata board. I saw a deal in here for an older FX chip AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 ClawHammer 2.6GHz. Thanks T2. I am kinda short on cash, but this looked like a good deal, and my boss will buy whichever chip I do not want. His fastest machine is an Athlon 2800, so either way, one or both of us get an upgrade.

AFTER I ordered the chip, I did some research on it, and well, it certainly is not top of the line, but I think it will work in my mobo. Do any of you have experience using the 2 CPU's? My current CPU o/c nice and stable around 2.6GHz, the new one is 2.6 stock, so I am hoping for 2.9GHz.

Well, thanks for your time.
