Hi, a friend of mine is looking to buy a new CPU (preferably from Tiger Direct/Newegg/Ncix) and is looking to buy something much newer under $100US. He also has DDR2 RAM, AM2/AM2+ socket on the mobo, and is willing to run games from 2009 on up, thank you in advance.
Check if his motherboard suppors AM3 with a BIOS update, if so, he could get a Phenom II 555 or Athlon II x4
