thanks bro
Did anyone actually read my posts???!!!!! :? where's a brick wall when you need one?
I took all that time and effort trying to help and to make it CLEAR to potential buyers looking for a decent CPU upgrade.
I feel sorry for the OP to be honest...I only helped because I have good knowledge of PC hardware
Look back at my posts and you'll see that I did mention that this CPU is AM2 only NOT Socket 939 and that they've probably cut and pasted the generic marketing info from somewhere without even reading it first. Btw I have the same motherboard as you - again the fastest processor this can support is a Socket 939 AMD Athlon X2 4800 which is now discontinued....and only available on eBay for a small fortune.
looks like OEM to me.
:thinking:
If it fits, you would also need new thermal paste and maybe a new cooler.

I always buy retail CPUs as a three year warranty and heatsink / fan are a small price to pay...however CPUs are very reliable today and most people buying these would probably buy their own cooling solution anyway.
I will point out that this processor uses alot more power than an Intel Core 2 Duo equivalent (Athlon X2 6000 - 125W / C2D E6750 - 65W)...its not as efficient. Please no AMD vs Intel wars ;-)
A good price especially for people on low end Athlon X2s (3800/4200/4400) on Socket AM2 motherboards wanting a decent upgrade. As already mentioned this is not for Socket 939 motherboards. I do not know if lowestonweb have a good reputation mind.
Hixxy22 - if your motherboard is AM2 then please make sure that your motherboard can support it (should do). Usually some motherboards need a BIOS update to recognise a newer CPU (especially if released months after the board came out). This is more of an issue with motherboards with Intel processors however.
I would recommend finding the motherboard manufactuer (e.g. Asus/Gigagyte) and model number of your board, then going to thier official site and checking CPU support list.
Also there was an X2 3800 released for Socket 939 and then Socket 940...as suggested download and run CPU-Z
I lol'd :giggle:
The fastest processor for Socket 939 was the AMD Athlon X2 4800 which is now retired - it still sells on eBay for a small fortune. There is a mistake in their listing which I assume they have cut and paste from somewhere. The 6000 is AM2 only
no. it's oem. you wouldn't want to use them anyhow -much noisier and not as efficient as spending an extra £10-£20 on a good fan.
was tempted to get the 6000 x2 but decided i'm not buying a new am2 cpu until there's a marked change in power consumption. all my adobe creative suite 3 programs run flawlessly anyway and that's with a 3500 (not dual core) and 4gb ram on vista ultimate!
I have a 4200 dual core processor 2gb ram and the motherboard is
Asus M2N-E SLI. Wouls this make a lot of difference -or would i be better adding more ram . Running Vista home premium.
Thanks
thanks for your reply. im still thinking of buying this processor. but could you recommend me a good heatsink fan that will be compatible with this processor? it has to have an am2 socket right?
I much prefer AMD over dirty intel :giggle:
This is a good cooler for the price mate...

I went for this one with mine - ]http//ww…993
Got good reviews in Custom PC magazine

The best cooler is the Arctic Freezer Pro 7: custompc.co.uk/lab…tml
This is an oem AM2 processor: amdcompare.com/us-…6CZ

Beautiful!:thumbsup:
same fan as me. and a sharkoon 120mm case fan too.
set both to run quiet via motherboard and the pc faintly whispers!
Woow, 65 watts more electricity, this means £30 electric bill a year if used 12 hrs per day.
However in the winter months we needed the heat anyway to keep warm so say £10 of the £30 is used to offset the gar bill!
