    Im wanting to upgrade my CPU and RAM on my P 6860 FX.

    I've read that the T9300 is an option, although finding one is pretty hard. Are there any other newer processors out that I can upgrade to other than the T9300 series?

    Also, will my motherboard support two sticks of 4 GB DDR2 667?

    Ebay is the easiest place to find a T9300. The processors you can choose from are the T8300, T9300, T9500, X7800, X7900, and the X9000. The mobo will support 8gb of ram but if you are not running any applications that will use it then its a waste of money IMO.
