hey guys,

I am considering upgrading my 4200 X2 to a 6000 X2 to increase my comps performance for UT 3. Because I already have an AMD X2 CPU, does that mean that my computer will be compatible with the upgrade? And also, I have never self installed a new CPU, and I was wondering if anyone could provide a step by step guide for installing the AMD 6000 X2, it would be much appreciated. thanks guys
