FX 53 - Skt 939

[Ricochet J]

Hello there. My freind is selling me an FX 53. He's giving it to me for £40. The question I ask is has it still got life in the chip?
As in, does it still preform powerfully?
I'm hoping to replace my existing chip in my computer:
AMD Athlon 64 Winchester @ stocks
GeIL 1024mb, 1gb RAM @ stocks
HIS Excalibur x800xl @ stocks
Samsung Spinpoint 160Gb HDD
DFI UT NF4

Theres nothing wrong with my computer at the moment. It's just as it happens i've got £35 bob (i'm sure I can talk him down £5 ) it's just is it worth the upgrade and will I see any noticeable differences?

Thanks for your time

I've got an XP - 90 cooler. Although, overclocking isn't my intentions.
