AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9GHz Quad Core Processor Tested

Despite not offering any new features or mind blowing performance, the AMD Athlon II X4 635 is a solid product. It was able to keep up with both the Phenom II 940BE and the Phenom II 910e in just about all of the benchmarks performed today. Pair the Athlon II X4 635 with a motherboard like the MSI 785GM-E65 and for a little over $200.00 you can have a solid base for great computer. Not bad, considering the system would support dual-monitors, Blu-Ray playback, GPGPU applications like stream and most importantly it would be ready for Windows 7.
