    I still have the stock processor, but it just doesn't perform the way I need it to. I can't play a lot of games with it, so I want to upgrade.

    Which processor should I get, and where should I get it from?

    Appreciate your advice! :)

    So, it looks like the T9300 is the best option? Does anyone know where the cheapest place to buy this is? Newegg doesn't seem to sell them anymore!

    I had that T9300 in 6860 and it was running great, too bad the gpu didn't run as good as the cpu :)

    Well, I went ahead asked in that thread if the CPU was still available. The seller responded sometime later saying that it was, but then did not give me the opportunity to buy it - he sold it to someone else.. :(

    So, ebay is the next best place to look? Why doesn't Newegg sell these anymore?
