What is the fastest CPU I can use in this M/board...M2N SLI Deluxe?

At the moment I have an AMD +4200

I'd like to get more grunt for doing HD video editing and have seen these CPU's that I would like to upgrade to. They are the x4 Phenom II 810 / 945 / 955 type cpu's.

If so will these make my computer heaps faster than what I have or just a little faster?
And will it be much better for HD video editing????

Cheers

Well, that is an AM2 Motherboard, and the Phenom II's are either AM2+ or AM3.

The fastest processor that I can find that would work with your motherboard would be the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, I think ;). It's out of stock @ Newegg at the moment, but you might be able to find it somewhere else.

It would be quicker, but it wouldnt match a Phenom II 955.
 
huh, yeah when I built this system like 2 years ago I wanted the 6000 but out of stock so could only get the 4200...

So What about going Intel and i7. That would be heaps faster than this 4200 wouldn't it?
 
Worshipme: Isnt his motherboard AM2, and not AM2+?

Edit: Oh, hang on. It might work anyway :p
