powerful and affordable
The phenom II 955 is really powerful. Do not let anyone tell you that it is a weak processor. There are many good processors out right now that is the simple truth of the matter. Intel has some very powerful processors and AMD does too. The 955 is not going to win any overclocking competitions and core for core it is true that he cannot be an upset Intel's I7 series. But really does it really matter at all? In my opinion it does not. As long as it does what it's supposed to do is fine. If you can start and operate your programs with reasonable amount of time and it is good enough for you. Too many people get caught up with charts and graphs and simulations without looking at and thinking about the real world conditions. In the real world conditions, the difference between an i7 and a 955 that is overclocked is merely a couple seconds in loading for a game if we are talking about a game. 955 is very powerful and is considered one of the most affordable 4 cores out there.
