AC500

can I just remove my old unit and plug this right in....are is there more to it? and whats the diff in the cache? Sorry NOOB.

TY

yeah I mean you arent going to break any speed records with it, but yeah it'll scoot.

yeah its worth it, the 6000 series runs pretty hot though. I think you'll be happy. BTW the 6400+ is the same price and has a larger L2 cache.zache86

It doesn't have a larger L2 cache, both the X2 6000+ and the X2 6400+ feature 2x1MB of L2 cache.
