The FM1 socket platform is no longer an upgrade-able option from AMD since now their current APUs are based on socket FM2 with a more refined architecture based off of Piledriver. These first generation APUs, like this Llano 3870k (which is unlocked and superbly overclockable), were and still are great options for a gaming and/or media pc, but you'll be stuck on the socket if you choose to grab one of them. They are dropping in price since they'll no longer be manufactured for that socket, so if you want something cheap now, go grab it. Below is my current setup while running Dirt 3, recorded with Fraps onto a secondary harddrive to minimize FPS slowdowns

50inch Samsung Plasma at 1366x768 (resolution makes a difference here since bigger rez will need more gpu horsepower)
AMD 3870K at stock 3.0ghz and stock GPU frequency (Radeon 6550D on die graphics)
8gb of Kingston HyperX Red Edition at 1600mhz
Radeon HD 6450 by Gigabyte (running the APU and this card in Dual Graphics mode)

Granted that Dirt 3 is a simpler game compared to whats coming out today, and a bit dated already, these first gen APUs will destroy any game you throw at it at mostly medium settings across the board. Some you'll even get lucky enough to have on High. For the price range, its a wonderful option and worth the buy. BUT, by now you ought to just look into FM2 (A10 5800K), which is the same pricepoint that FM1 APUs were set at, and you're looking at 20+% in performance improvements. Dual graphics mode is still available on the new platforms.

Thanks, subscribe and like.
