Much attention has been paid of late to AMD's new 6-core desktop CPU, the Phenom II X6 1090T. While its performance is certainly impressive, its price-over $300 at time of publication-can be off-putting to many system builders. For those whose wallets run a bit leaner these days, AMD has brought us the Athlon II X4 640. This quad-core CPU promises good performance at a low price. Let's take a closer look, and see how it stacks up.

ASUS has done their usual solid job with a new motherboard release. As the chipsets used on this motherboard are not new, the performance across different boards using these two chipsets should be pretty close and they are. A lot of AM2+ motherboards support the AM3 CPUs with a BIOS Flash allowing for easy upgrade options for older motherboard chipsets. ASUS's board has support for four ATI cards in CrossfireX which is a great way to get the best performance out of your new motherboard in games. In terms of features, ASUS really can't be beat with their extra features like Q-Shield and 8+2 Phase Power.
