    Hello
    I need a new CPU - my existing CPU is not supported by my motherboard ( I have a Asrocket N68-S motherbaord and a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+)
    I am looking to get a AMD Phenom II X2 560 or the 565 CPU - both CPUs specs are almost the same the only difference between them are the 560 runs at 3300 MHz and the 565 runs at 3400 MHz - But the 565 is £35 more expensive

    Is it worth paying more for the better spec of the Frequencys - I am not a gamer I only play snooker 09 from time to time

    You won't (or barely) notice the difference to be honest :)
