Yes.. if you are wondering.. you are right..! the man is upgrading his CPU. Being a owner of your own computer store does have its perks. Firstly, you get to get stuff .. at cost price and secondly, should a customer comes in looking for something that you don’t want.. like your old CPU .. you can sell him yours.. and upgrade to a new one without spending too much.

The “Black Edition” of AMD’s Athlon 64 X2 5000+ is the one he is looking at buying, as compared to 2 years ago, this model is produced on a 65nm process. Offering enormous overclocking potential, yet only drawing about half as much power. This CPU can be faster than an Athlon X26200 if you push it to its limit. Compared amongst today’s CPUs.. this is an unique processor as it performance can be increased without having to raise either the FSB or the memory frequency.. thus making it a very safe choice for any AM2 board. This refined processor stepping allows the processor to stay stable at higher clock speeds without requiring an increase in core voltage. The obvious benefit is that you can put an inexpensive overclocked AMD processor into your PC, and the CPU fan won’t need to run at speeds that make it sound like a turbine. Thus, thanks to the low thermal power dissipation, you don’t need to spend extra money on a complex cooling solution.

Ok.. so in layman terms.. it means.. good value for money, retailing only at $140USD, Gamers will love it.. it will be alot faster.. and you got something to boast about to his fellow gamers.
