Hey Chevy, I noticed what you have there is a Dell pc. I'm not sure how old it is but if I were you, I'd call them up and ask what other CPU sockets your motherboard supports. Once you find that out, then you'll know what other cpu choices you'll have besides the AM2 Sempron series (socket 754). I may be wrong but judging by what they're selling on Newegg.com the 754 socket type might be on it's way out. There's a possibility that you might have to upgrade your motherboard along with the processor to see any real difference. My 2 cents. Good luck my friend!

8600? :doh:

id start upgrading right there, bud...

i have found that the more you unload your cpu by getting better video cards, the more bang you get for the buck like that..

cheaper to get a better video card and keep your cpu as compared to gettign a m/b, cpu, ram, etc and not upgrading the video..
