One for the oldies here, I've been given an this asus M4A77 mobo with 2 x 2 gb ddr2 ram and athlon X2 250 cpu. It works fine but god is it slow. Its for a second test bench sort of thing, but I'd like to upgrade the cpu and I'm thinking about a Phenom version. I obviously want to keep the cost down so I'm looking at spending around the £20-£25 mark for something even half decent. Trouble is its been so long since I messed around with this cpus, I've forgotten most of the info.
So can anyone suggest a suitable phenom cpu that half decent and would make a low end test bench item?

Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition I'd say, X6 might be pushing it; I was running a X6 1090T in the mATX brother of this board and it wasn't totally stable given it only has a 4 pin CPU power connector.

The 965 was just a higher-binned version of the 955 so stock clocks were higher, but both hit the same OC.

Phenom II X4 955 this +1, I had the 970 version witch is the same chip clocked higher, But my mate had this 1 and it would clock higher than my 970, we got the 955 @4ghz on all cores

Try to get a C2 stepping if you can. I have a 955 which is an older C1 stepping and it needs a lot higher voltage than any C2, just to achieve 3.7GHz. That cpu spent 5 years in my gaming system and then got shifted into my server in 2014 where it's run ever since.
