I have a question... My system uses an AM2 socket on a Gigabyte
GA-M59SLI-S5 (rev. 1.0) motherboard. It presently houses an Athlon 64
X2 6000+ dual core CPU (2x 3GHz cores). I learned that this AM2
motherboard also supports the X3 8x00 series tri-core processors @ 2.3
GHz per core.

***umption --> Using an AM2 socket and not an AM2+ socket.

Question --> Am I right to ***ume that my dual-core 6000+ CPU running
each core at 3 GHz will have a higher performance than a tri-core
running @ 2.3 GHz per core when installed in this AM2 socket?
