Post your whole system. It might be worth it, it might not.

Phenom II is a huge step up from the phenom I. I recently upgraded from the 9850 to the pII 940, it is very nice. Not only is it faster and able to work better, it runs about 5 degrees cooler for me. I would recommend it if you can afford to do so.

Also, buy it from newegg via eGO mall. this will help us out.

I'm running a Phenom II X4 940 black, and I'm really happy with it. Mine easily OC'd to 3.6 GHz and is rock solid stable.

A friend of mine just got that Phenom II 940. It's pretty stable. A good rock solid cpu.
