Hi,

i have this PC now:
mb: ga-m720-us3
cpu: amd athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3.0ghz
ram: 2 gb (1+1) 667 mhz

I want to replace the cpu. I saw the list of compatible cpu, and question is "will these cpu work with my ram". coz in specs of cpu is told "support memory: ddr2-1066, ddr3-1333". Mine is ddr2-666mhz.

I found these :
AMD Phenom II X4 960T 3 GHz - 55e - 61$
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz - 48e - 54$
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz - 61e - 68$

which of them I should to buy?

if you have another recommendation, write about.

thx for help.
