    @ibrahimalghamdi94 thanks helped me alot, I’m going to OC the 1055t to 4ghz (Hopefully) because I’m going to do alot of Media rendering and using some CAD software. Thanks :D

    @crevent45 Ok, Thanks! Somebody told me that i might have some compatibility issues, would I? Or are they just jealous of my rig? ^_^ haha

  3. crevent45 says:

    @sam22112211 64bit
    32bit OS’ only read around 3.5gig of ram.. So 4.5gig will just be sitting there wasted.

    @sam22112211 64bit..

    Linus, my rig is going to have this CPU along with 8gb of RAM (4gb x 2), Should I be running 64bit or 32bit Windows?

    @jmuller123475 Thanks mate :) I will upgrade my comp from a hd5670 to a HD6850 :)

    The gold button isnt on the right or the left :( where is it!

    @ImEmoHatingLife

    Maybe i’m new, but i’m pretty sure the cpu you are using has little correlation as to if your OS is 32 or 64bit

  9. jmuller123475 says:

    @mauzzeppelinhendirx The chip should work with am3 and am2+ sockets, I think he says in the video even. But the 970 is an am3 socket chip, so you should be okay.

    As to whether you should replace your cpu or graphics card, it really depends what you are doing with your computer. If you run multiple demanding applications, you might want to upgrade your cpu, but if you want to upgrade because games are not running as well as you would like, its likely you want to upgrade your 5670.

  10. ibrahimalghamdi94 says:

    @MDrummer96 it depends on what you will use it for. if you will be only gaming, then get the 970. if you will be gaming and using graphics software, then get the 1090t because it has 6 cores. for my self, i would buy AMD 1055t + CPU cooler and overclock it. the 1055t is cheaper than the 970 and the 1090t, and you will have great performance after overclocking it.
    I hope that helped :)

  11. FOADgamers says:

    @ImEmoHatingLife 64 bit. You can use it with a 32bit OS, though.

  12. deathflyer10 says:

    @MDrummer96 depends on OC`ing

  13. mikiii880 says:

    @flamingfd3s i think he is the cameraman……

  14. MDrummer96 says:

    which is better this 970 or 1090t?

  15. blingblingbling420 says:

    @mauzzeppelinhendirx Always check the motherboard manufacturer’s website for compatibility of the cpu for the current board you are asking about, I would do it for you but then you wouldn’t learn anything.

  16. mauzzeppelinhendirx says:

    will my MSI GF615M-P33, Socket-AM3 work with this processor? I want to replace it with my AMD athlon x2 250 3.0ghz. Or should I replace my HD 5670 with a better graphicscard?

  17. ImEmoHatingLife says:

    is this processor 32bit or 64bit?

  18. DVA5656 says:

    Is this faster than the i7-930 @ 4.0 GHz? Someone please anwser

    @flamingfd3s he would never fire his cameraman xD

  21. EZbakeROFLcakes says:

    @BRAeminem well the latest i7 is hex core the 970 is quad core… AMD have some fantastic 6 core processors that are much cheaper as you know (you can get them for the same price as an i5) and they are only slightly worse (aparently). AMD would be the choice for me, i went for an i5 :( But if your looking at games you might as well get an amazing graphics card :D

  22. EZbakeROFLcakes says:

    did it have six cores?

  23. BRAeminem says:

    wats better amd 970 or the latest i7. i know amd is MUCK cheaper and more energy efficient but if i wanna play games like crysis, bfbc2 and other good games which one is better?
