Looking at it yes it seems your suggested CPU's require AM2+ socket My MB is AM2. Have been away from building machines for some time but i suspect they are pinned different. |

The main reason the slower chip is more popular is simply the price/performance ratio. The 6400+ is about 7% faster than the 6000+, but I'll bet that it is more than 7% more expensive! When I rebuilt a few years back, I wrote myself a little spreadsheet that listed all the processors I was interested in, their price and their performance at stock and overclocked. It quickly became clear that the Q6600 was the best bang per muck in my price range... I was only looking at Intel CPUs, but the principle is the same. Rarius |

Update just researched and discovered the AM2 and AM2+ are interchangable But i must add that im not a fan of overclocking and your suggested CPU's run slower then the ones i am asking about. |
