Well, i deceided that a new processor would be the way to go to make my comp faster again.

Right now i have an Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3.06GHz processor...and im looking for an processor wich is better...

does anyone have a good tip for a processor that isnt too expensive but will work well as a gaming processor?

oh if you wanna know my dxdiag i uploaded it here:
slow comp issues, not sure what causes it

ty in advance^^,

Looking at your dxiag, its showing me that you only have 1024mb of RAM, maybe you should upgrade your RAM first because a 3.06GHz is alright to me

the GA-8I848PM is a socket 478, which means you will have to look for processors that fit the socket designation. The bad news is, the best you will find is single-core Intel Prescott. Prescott is not bad, but you won't be able to get Core 2 Duos.

I checked Newegg, and they have a 3.0Ghz Prescott for $84Newegg.com - Intel Pentium 4 3.0E Prescott 3.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket 478 89W Single-Core Processor - OEM

As for you Ram, there is no need to upgrade.

you mainy need something with more cache because a 478 mobo wont give you much room to expland a good thing you can do i salvage your graphics card and drives and get a new computer

I suggest getting a new computer, or upgrading your motherboard and PSU and RAM. Go for an ASUS motherboard if you're going to choose to upgrade, or just simply check out some market websites if you're after a new comp.

You might want to clean your cpu insides once a month It really helps a lot and if that dont work buy like 2 gigs of ram

get a barebone kit with 775 lga socket if you wanna go intel or am2plus if you wanna go amd

I would suggest saving up for an AMD motherboard and getting the AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+ 2.6GHz It's smooth, delivers great performance, and is great with gaming.
