AMD CPU Phenom II X4-955 HDX955WFK4DGM 3.2GHz Socket AM3 TDP 95Watt

Increased the performance of my old computer
After a lot of research at CPU-Upgrade dot com, I was able to determine that this AMD Phenom II X4-955 3.2GHz, specifically in this 95 watt TDP version would be the fastest and best upgrade to my old and slow AMD Athlon II X2 215 2.7GHz.
My computer specs:
Tower: 2009 HP Pavilion p6203w desktop PC, originally with AMD Athlon II X2 215 2.7GHz CPU
Motherboard: Asus M2N68-LA (Narra5) P/N #513426-001
BIOS version: 5.55
Installation: Really easy to install. Simply line up the CPU arrows. The most difficult part was working loose the the old heatsink thermal paste from the old CPU. Be patient here and do not apply too much pressure on the motherboard. Once installed, my computer recognized the new CPU by name and no need to update the motherboard BIOS. It's my understanding that older Narra3 motherboards will work with this CPU but the computer may or may not recognize it by name.
CPU performance: I recognize this old AMD Phenom II X4-955 CPU is no match for modern CPUs. My objective here was to improve the speed of my old computer without investing a lot of money. This CPU cost me $33 dollars shipped and was well worth it in my opinion. My computer is much faster now and is better when multitasking. At my work we have newer Intel i5 computers and my old computer with this with this new to me Phenom CPU feels just as fast as the newer work computers. Again, I fully understand that comparing for example a Geekbench score, i5 versus old AMD Phenom II X4 wouldn't even be close, but still, I feel that I greatly increased the speed of my old computer for not a lot of money and it actually "feels" comparably as fast as the more modern computers.
Other upgrades at this time: I added (2)two 4GB sticks of Samsung brand DDR2 RAM that I found online for under $30. I also replaced the old CPU fan and heatsink with an AMD brand "Silent" cooler for CPUs up to 125W TDP. The cooler was found online for under $20 and good insurance to replace an aging fan. I also replaced my old boot hard drive with a Samsung EVO 860 Solid State Drive.
Total cost of upgrades: $214.
At this price, I don't know that I could have built a comparable computer? Also, the office supply store has an HP tower with i3 -8100 CPU and 8GB RAM on sale for $379.99. But for the $214 I just spent on my old computer, I have comparable specs and a Solid State Hard Drive which is a much faster boot drive than the conventional mechanical hard drives that most new computers still come with.
If you are at a crossroads trying to figure out if you should buy a new computer, I recommend seeing if you can upgrade it first before dropping the money on a brand new computer. And if you have an old AMD CPU, find out if this Phenom II X4 955 will work for you. I highly recommend it.
