Amd 550 vs intel

[Guest]

Hello,
tell me about amd 945 cpu
and compatible motherboard

I'm assuming you are referring to the AMD Phenom II X4 945.

For starters its a sexy quad-core processor clocked at 3.0 GHz.

L2 Cache - 4 x 512KB

L3 Cache - 6MB

Power Draw - 125W

You can order one online for around $140, totally worth the money.

As far as compatible motherboards, any AM3 mobo will work.

Works in nearly all AM3 boards, and some AM2+ and even AM2 boards as well. You can use DDR2 (AM2/AM2+) or DDR3 (AM3) memory. In terms of performance it would be a bit under Intel's Core i5 750 @ 2.66 GHz.
