Thanks for the information and currently am not going for a proccy but after 1 or 2 months I will be hunting for a used 555be.
AMD Athlon II X4 or Phenom II X2

Guys this not sunny4691's thread.
Better concentrate on the needs of pratik03. Its his thread.

@pratik03 I think you can now see for yourself that getting a quad-core will be worth your money. At the moment of posting this, X4 is leading by 11 votes. So either get Athlon II X4 640 at your current budget or increase it slightly and get Phenom II X4 955 BE. Either way, you'll have great performance.

Lol.This is not my thread, I was just asking for some information, so that OP might also get benefited from the information as I thought if all the 555be are unlockable to quad then OP can get one and try to unlock it, so as to get a quad proccy in his budget.
And sorry for the confusion caused

Bah. Forget it.
Anyway, unlocking will only cause more instability and raise temps. I suggest you to go for quad also.
I mean, just for a few extra bucks if you can get a safer option then why go the hard way??

Just get Amd Anthlon II X4 635 @4.5 k will be fully worth it.
Not worth hassle of unlocking.
lets stop the discussion and not confuse OP more.

Ya I will also suggest the OP to get quad core as the quad cores will be very futureproof as more and more applications are going to be benefited with the quad cores
Hey, the motherboard suggested by thetechfreak (ASUS M4A78LT MLE) is not 780G , it's 760G.

OP already decided to go for x4 635
300mhz fast and 6mb cache....thats how much it differs from 635
regarding unlocked multiplier...i dont think OP mentioned that he'll go for OCing
he can use those 2K for other parts

@piyush,
as OP's wish..and frequency doesn't matter while comparing phenom with athlon..what matters is cache..it would have been more future proof..
Phenom II x4 840 3.2GHz @5.2k

budget is strictly under 5k, can't go beyond that

I dont think op is gonna find the 840 at the street at such a sweet price.
So I suggest you to hunt for both, if you manage to find the p2 840 even a 100 or 200 more than 5k, its very well worth the investment!
