Hi,

I currently have a AMD Phenom II x2 550 3.10ghz.

THe following motherboard-
Gigabyte GA-MA790x-UD3P

What CPU's can this Motherboard take that are a worth while and cheap grade just to get a little bit more UMPH!

Is it worth getting a Phenom II x4?

Your advise is much apprechiated.

Cheers
 
I also have Overdrive x2 ATI 4890's.

Is it time to upgrade these to something else? What would you suggest... IM not after hte top range graphics card at £300 pounds.. just something better than the 2 cards above.
 
Ok so if I unlock more cores, what does this mean? Double the CPU power for free? Do I need to upgrade bios I dunno if I have a acc option??? Do most games now support 4 cores???
 
Found ACC -
it had Disabled, AUto, ALL CORES and.. forgot otehr option.

I did auto, but nothing seesmt o change
Dirext x still says 2 cores, my computer infor says DUEL CORE...

How do I know if its Quad?
