^ lol.

The 7750 has 2mb of L3 cache & 1mb of L2 cache.

You could get an 7850BE or 7750BE which OC to 3~3.2Ghz on the fly.

But at stock, Athlon II would be better.

Athlon X2 7750 is based on architecture of Phenom processors.
Atholn II X2 240 based on architecture of Phenom II processors.
Athlon II X2 240 will be a better.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Asus M3A is a very crappy board.

[erif]

Wait...

yes, M3A supports X2 240

Are you positive about that?


I don't see it listed on M3A's CPU support list: http://in.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=P4 ... templete=2

[giridegr8]

yes it does support , my friend uses that combo (asked him again to confirm, might need a BIOS update sometime )

[rafath]

get Athlon IIX2 240..
or else get Athlon IIX2 245 .. by payin sme xtra bucks..
(Athlon IIX2 240 ----> 2.8Ghz: Athlon IIX245 ----> 2.9Ghz)

[karan_nandwani]

Wprime test showed only a 1.3 sec difference between a 7750 @ 2.7ghz & Athlon 250 @3.0ghz.
