The title says it all. I'm currently running a 9850 @ 3.2GHz in an A79A-S with 4GB of 1066.
Typically, I do a full new build every 2 years or so with a few upgrades every 6-12 months in between. I'm planning on getting another 4GB of RAM, but I was wondering if the upgrade of the CPU from an Agena 9850 to a Phenom II 940 or 955 would be worthwhile enough to pursue (speaking purely from a general standpoint, not citing specific tasks, games or applications.) I'd probably push the OC as far as I could on air cooling. My other thought was that I could possibly wait for Thuban, but at that point I might already be considering a new build.
