Since the Phenom II 940 is a black edition, the CPU is unlocked and can be easily overclocked. I didn’t have the essential materials so I wasn’t able to do this.

The AMD Phenom II X4 940 has a suggested retail price of Php12,200 at PC Bodega. That’s around 40% to 45% cheaper than a similar counterpart (Q9950 @.283GHz) with Intel.
