Viable CPU to run today's productivity applications.
I replaced my custom PC's AMD Athlon 64 X2 (dual-core) CPU with the AMD Phenom 2 X6 (six-core) CPU. There is no more latency while running Linux 20.x LTS along with productivity applications like spreadsheets and transitioning between or among open applications. My systemboard's vendor's product specifications recommend DDR2 1066 RAM when installing the Phenom CPU, but it will run on DDR2 800 RAM. Keep in mind that Ubuntu Linux, in particular has low system requirements, and so the 8 GB RAM in the PC is ample. It is also good to know that I can use the Phenom 2 X6 with AM3+ systemboards in the future in order to take advantange of RAM beyond the 16 GB limit the AM2 systemboards have.
I also now use the PC with the Phenom to run DNS caching service and Squid proxy service for my home office and contribute idle CPU time to Boinc distributed computing projects.
For those considering incremental upgrades even to older AMD computer systems with an AM2, AM2+ or AM3 CPU socket for home or small office, you may consider the Phenom II series provided you do the research, first. You don't necessarily need to spend hundreds of dollars to access better computer performance for modest computing needs.

Hours of comfort and clean sound.
Lightweight, comfortable while wearing glasses, and clear sound. Noise-cancelling function works well.
