Which Cpu as good as 965 be quad?

[DisappearingOak]

so my processor is being sent to amd in bangalore for rma. i wanted to know if they still produce 965 be quad and if not what other processor should i accept from them, the cpu being 3.4ghz quad, multiplier unlocked with c3 stepping. i do not want a downgrade.

I guess it has to be AM3 socket processor that they would provide as replacement, otherwise from the new AM3+ socket FX line-up FX4300 (not FX4100) should be a good replacement

saz is right.

FX-4300 is equal. Anything above is okay.

FX-4100 is a downgrade.

But be sure of the socket and processor support your motherboard has.

Op is most probably going to get a C2 rev cpu.
