Should I take out my X2 7750 BE for this?
Any noticeable upgrade?

After next Wed, you won't see prices this low on cpus until a year from now. I'm been monitoring Fry's prices for over 6 years, and this week is the best of the whole year for cpu prices. Better than black friday. I would get some, but I'm unemployed right now. I got an Intel dual core cpu plus board for $49.99 at this exact time last year, used it one year, and sold it recently for a modest profit.

Should've picked this up today too when I got the MSI/e7500 combo, FAR HSF and a couple other things. Didn't notice this one, though.

Only got the $100 C2D combo. The free HSF would have been nice, don't know how I missed it in the ads. Also $7.99 MicroSD 4GB w/adaptor(Kingston).

thanks. First page of the Friday Ad, far right column, below the Samsung printer.
No, it is a 710, not a 720, and NOT a black edition. Still a great deal.

I got this cpu but I need some advice. I'm undecided about whether to go with a mobo that uses ddr2 ram vs one that uses ddr3 ram. Is there much of a performance difference between ddr2 vs ddr3. I don't plan on OC and I do light gaming.

No real difference as the latency for DDR3 offsets the speed of the higher frequency. The fastest memory if you can find it is still the 11 bit OCZ AM2 Special which handles 16k page files vs 8k for 10 bit DDR2. All of that said unless you are running something non trivial like Unigraphics NX4 or Solid Works or Catia memory speed will not be the bottleneck in your system. Most all software is optimized for 4k page files in Intel's RDMA design. High quality DDR like Windbond BH-5/CH-5 or Samsung TCCD hits 35ns latency vs 75 ns for the best DDR2 or about 120ns for DDR3 but you need an OS like Linux Chapel. None of the top 10 supercomputers run DDR3 memory. IBM Blue GeneL/P and Red Storm run DDR; the others are either AMD/Sun or AMD Cray using DDR2 or IBM's Roadrunner hybrid using DDR2 for the AMD cpu's and DDR for the Cell processors.
