The listing, AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1 GHz Dual Core Processor Socket AM3 has ended.
Up for auction is a used AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1 GHz Dual Core Processor.
Comes with stock heatsink and fan. This is an unlocked processor. This means with the right motherboard you can unlock the two extra cores and it will run as a quad core processor. Had it in a Gigabyte motherboard and it was recognized by Windows and all other programs as a quad core processor. See the CPUID picture. Processor was never overclocked. Ran great. My motherboard went so I upgraded my processor also. Pair this with a core unlocker motherboard for quad core processing. Good luck.
