This is a good processors. You will have to have a good graphics card to run today games. This processor is not the best so you might find that games will run a bit slow.
I have the hexacore AMD x6 1035T (2.6GHz) and a fairly pathetic graphics card (1.5GB Nvidia GeForce GT230) (don't get confused by the large amount of video RAM, the rest of the card is pathetic) and I can play Mass Effect 2, NFS Hot Pursuit, GTA4 etc. comfortably (not the best graphics settings for some of the games, but still pretty darn good).
However, if this processor you mention is in a laptop, beware. Unless it is a laptop made for gaming, it is unlikely that it will have a good graphics chip for gaming. Intel integrated graphics are generally useless (portal 2 runs fine, but GTA4 is unplayable) (unlikely that you would have Intel graphics as it's an AMD processor). Read some reviews on the graphics card/chip that comes with your PC, but if it's a desktop PC, you could probably buy a better graphics card if needs be.
But yeah, a quad core 2.2GHz processor is definitely above the minimum requirements for most, if not all, current PC games.
yes, but only smoothly if it were an AMD Phenom X4 9950
The HP Pavilion M9400F 2.40 GHz Elite AMD Phenom Quad Core Desktop PC will be good for drafting. The Ram and processor power will make this a powerful computer for any job.
Yes, easy.
Yes, the AMD Phenom II X4 955 is a quad core processor meaning that this processor has four cores or CPUs.
= = AMD phenom is more better in gaming.....its can play smooth, excellent grafic...you can search in youtube about this article. out there, have a lot of test about this. AMD is more better in gaming.
Any processor that is an Intel Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium D, Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, or Core i7, as well as most AMD Athlons, AMD Athlon 64, AMD Athlon 64 X2, and AMD Phenom.
Intel Core Duo Intel Core 2 Duo Intel Core 2 Quad Intel Celeron AMD Athlon XP AMD Phenom X2 And two for laptops: Intel Atom AMD Turion X2
It works with Embedded AMD Athlon Single and Dual Processors, Quad-Core AMD Phenom Processors, and AMD ASB1 Processors based on COM Express Reference Design and Mini-ITX Reference Design.
No. You cannot install a new Intel motherboard made for the dv7-4000 series into an HP Pavilion dv7-4000 series notebook with an AMD Phenom II Quad core so that you can upgrade to an intel i7.
Core 2 Quad
The AMD Phenom series of CPUs is AMDs QUAD-CORE series of CPUs and are available at a start of around $200+ sold seperately. Only some of the most advanced motherboards of todays era of computers (march '09) are compatible with these processors. Please look up your motherboard's model number and refer to the company's website to confirm its compatibility with the Phenom processor.
