Hi, I have an old fx-62 running nicely on win7. Just saw sale of phenom 9850( 2.5ghz) on memory express for $56. Will this be an upgrade that is worthwhile and can be felt? I don't play too much game. Occasional dota and hon is about it plus I watch movies and transfer large files out.

Will this be a direct swap of CPu in my am2 socket , or do I have to reinstall win7? I think both CPUs are 125 watts.
