Introduction
There are many essential components to every computer – some perhaps are less important i.e. sound cards etc – but most are vital. One such component which the entire system depends on is the CPU; basically the CPU is the “heart” of the computer. But it is more than that, it is the component which performs programmed instructions, performs arithmetic and controls data input/output functions.

AMD Phenom X4 955BE Features
The AMD Phenom X4 955BE has a brilliant party piece. This being that it is backwards compatible with older sockets (AM2+), as long as the motherboard has the suitable bios update. Most high end AM2+ motherboards should have bios updates but this is not a guarantee so check you motherboard manufacturer’s website before upgrading.
