i currently run a amd 64 3700+ with 2 gig of ram, but am finding this startign to get a little slow. i have a nforce4 sli socket 939 (designed for amd64) motherbaord and want to upgrade the processor, can i upgrade sufficiently to another processor? if so what would it work with, or if not would a Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 be noticeably better with a new m/board hope you can help many thanks in advance
Slow in what area(s)? Core 2 Duo is great, but it won't do you any good if the problem is something to do with a resource hog or a heavily fragmented hard drive.
it is slow in general processing. i play football manager and other games where it has to process as opposed have good graphics and have noticed that it now takes quite a while to process/load during game. this also applies for multi tasking 3/4 applications at the same time. would this be a good setup: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz Socket LGA775, 4MB, BOXED w/fan 327806 - ABIT IL9 PRO, Intel 945P, Socket-775, ATX, SATAII, DDR2, GbLAN, PCI-Ex16 313834 - Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 2048MB Kit w/two matched Value Select 1024MB thanks
