That board's too old for an upgrade. I'd reccomend getting a new board and CPU. You could give AMD a try, as an Athlon 64 or Sempron will blow your P4 out of the water.

 

[xiaokai]

i wish i could but i cant

if it was up to me i would get a new comp

 

[game]

Here is a CPU compatability list for your motherboard! Your new CPU won't be able to go over 400Mhz FSB, make sure to consider that!

 

[laboitenoire]

Then there's two things you can do:

1. Get a new chip off of eBay
2. Try to get 75 REP as fast as possible so you can post a wanted thread in the for sale/wanted section.

Note to the mods: If I shouldn't mention the REP, please PM me and it won't happen again.

Thanx that helped alot

would u be able to suggest where i would be able to find a Intel Pentium 4 2.6 GHz 400 MHz

eBay or any other online auction site

Your system should be able to upgrade maximally to a 2.8GHz Northwood A as the Northwood A versions have the same 400 FSB that your current processor, and there isn't support for the faster 533 FSB. That's too bad but on the plus side you do have an upgrade path so rejoice! If that had been a Socket 423 P4, your max upgrade would have been a Willamette 2.0 so yeah, it could have been a lot worse!
In terms of overall performance increases, the P4A 2.8 would be the best choice. That would give you roughly 45 - 60% more CPU power!

[xiaokai]

coool so i can get a 2.8 Northwood, and not jus a mear 2.6 max which the intel site suggests

 

[game]

The only CPUs for sale on newegg that would work with your motherboard are the mobile Dothan CPUs (For laptops)! I would SERIOUSLY recommend getting a new motherboard, as both your socket and FSB speed were discontinued last year! A processor upgrade would just be a waste of money, because it's already outdated...You're in a tricky spot for upgrading here, in order to upgrade your CPU, you'll need a new motherboard, likely a Socket 775 one. Then if you go with Socket 775 you'll have to upgrade to DDR2 RAM, a new 24 pin PSU, and most likely a PCI-E slot (New video card too!) Get a new computer!

EDIT: Nevermind....forgot about ebay.....

i know it will be a new comp which is wat i am affrid off, my pockets r not that deep lol is there a way to keep everything the same PC2100 ram, AGP graphics, and power supply, but buy new mother board and cpu

 

[xiaokai]

thats wat i am affrid of a new comp as my pockets r not too deep,
i was wondering if i could keep everything the same PC2100 ram, VGA graphics, and the powersupply but nuy a new motherboard and cpu

There really is not much use in keeping the slower dram, psu etc. when you upgrade board/cpu.

I think that you are going about it the right way for a value upgrade. A move to a 2.8A Northwood will be a decent increase and a noticeable one for you. You can buy an OEM from Ebay and use your previous heatsink and fan.

Money is an important factor for you and as such you need to get the most bang for the buck. I would hesitate on making any greater move until your funds are such that you can sell this box (and it will sell much faster as a 2.8GHz box) and create an entirely new system.

if you really want to get a good upgrade for alot less $$$, get an AMD!
