Hi Guys
My Current board is a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 (rev 2.0)
From what I understand I can fit any AM3 processor in the slot but I will loose the HT from HT 3.0 to HT 1.0(I have no idea what this is)
I have this list here http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Gigabyte/GA-M57SLI-S4(rev._2.0).html Is it worth me looking at the Phenoms or shall I go down the Athlon II X4 630/635 Route?
I have DDR2 RAM in my PC so I won’t loose anything there as I understand AM3 Processors have DDR2 & DDR3 controllers.
