Hi,

I found a Asrock FM2A55M-DGS mainboard that seems to be as new but still need to test it and I've seen the fastest cpu I could buy for it would be the A10-6700 65W 3.7Ghz (core Richland) cpu. I don't really know these "modern" mainboards / cpus and I'd like to ask if this cpu generation and architecture is faster enough to buy that cpu and some good ram for a generic office home computer just to compare it to the fastest one I've ever tried: the Core2 E8600 or the Phenom II X3 720.
Thanks.
Bye

Should be faster than any of your personal reference points. Looking at some benchmarks it seems slightly faster than the fastest Core2 Quads but can't touch the Lynnfield / Bloomfield quads.
