i have a dell dimention 2400 2.66ghz (, are there any good compatable cpu's that i can upgrade to, can i use an amd?) or should i just build another one?,can i have some reccomendations on which componets to use

Is there a specific reason why you feel the need to upgrade your CPU? What do you use your system for? Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit Gamer Edition WinME/WinXP Pro

IT IS just so slow i am attemting to use it for games and it is incredibly slow

2.66GHz w/512MB of RAM is respectable. Do you have a decent video card or onboard graphics? Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit Gamer Edition WinME/WinXP Pro

more than likely it is onboard, my mom has one of these, but w/ a slower cpu and ram. to answer your question you probibly could, but call dell and ask them FIRST!!!!! if they say you can, make sure you get the right bus speed, core and socket type. but, before you do all this, run an anti virus, you can get scanned for free on a website. then, run adaware, this will clear your spyware. then try to run the game you wanted to play. if it is still slow, close some of the things running in the back ground, otherwise, pritty much everything next to your clock. if this doesn't speed it up any, and you really want to spend money upgrading the cpu, call dell and ask them about it. p4 3.0ghz @ 222X15=3330mhz 512mb pc3200 dual channel @222mhz 80gb wd hdd/40gb maxtor when on linux 8x agp geforce 6200 @ 530/585can't unlock extra pipes. plz help if you can Audigy 2 ZS<b

If you have onboard video, a CPU upgrade isn't gonna help. You'd need a video card upgrade instead. Find out if you have an AGP slot...if so, someone can help you make a selection based on your budget. If you only have PCI slots, you're choices will be very limited Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit Gamer Edition WinME/WinXP Pro
