I'm looking to upgrade a second computer I have lying around, and the only part not 'up-to-date' (if you could call it that) is the cpu, an old Athlon (am2+) which is severely bottlenecking it.
I'm looking at a couple of Phenoms on eBay, such as an x4 ii 955. Is this chip good for overclocking etc? Cooling won't be a concern. Are there any alternatives you'd reccomend?
