Thanks for all the help, everyone!

So, I checked my BiOSA version,
and yeah, I already updated it a while back,
so right now I'm running:

1701 BIOS for M2N-SLI deluxe te
Support new CPUs, please refer to our CPU support list for more details:
http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...Language=en-us

After that one, the only other option is 5001, but that's just for AM3 processors.

There’s this site that sells used CPUs straight from China,
and they guarantee everything works—they apparently test every single one before shipping.

9950 - $133 95W
6750 - $107 125W

I might just go for one of those, maybe?

Do I need to worry about the power draw because of my motherboard?
Can I just throw any of them in there?

Thanks again, guys!

Hey everyone,

I really need you guys to help me out with picking a new CPU.
Money is pretty tight right now so I can't just go buy a whole new rig, so I'm thinking about just patching up
my old setup. I already sorted out the RAM and the GPU, so I just want to give the processor a little boost.

Anyway,

I've got an Asus M2N-SLI deluxe te motherboard
and I'm looking to swap out my current Athlon x2 4000 + for something a bit beefier.
I pulled this list from the Asus website, so if you could just tell me which one of these
is probably the best bet, that would be awesome.

I was poking around on eBay and saw you can find an Athlon x2 6500 for maybe $33 or something like that.

Here's the link showing which processors it supports (it's an AM2 socket), though it says it works with AM2+ and AM3 too, but honestly, I'm a little confused by that part.

Thanks to all the experts out there!
