First, I would suggest you fill in your system specs here:

Second, was your chip an AM2 or 939 chip? The easy way to answer that is are you using DDR or DDR2 RAM? Honestly though, we really need your motherboard to see what's a great upgrade option for ya. Those chips are nice but you could get a better one if you're motherboard's bios supports them.

I go on Newegg and see a bunch of x2 chips but no 3800+ so I get the idea to buy a better/faster chip. However, I'm not sure if this computer (link or motherboard would be compatible with, say... 6000+ 3.0GHz 5400+ 2.8GHz or any other Athlon x2 chips available on newegg? I tried calling HP support and ASUS support and both were more than unhelpful; they were downright rude. All I want to do is get my computer back up and running, so I need to buy the right part for the job. Can anybody help me? |
