Hey, Im thinking of upgrading my CPU. I got new 2GB Ram and want to increase my processing speed so there are less delays with general use etc.
My Current CPU is:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+ 2GHz, Socket AM2 (940) package, L1 Cache 2 x 64KB, L2 2 x 256 KB.
Motherboard is:
Gigabyte S-series M61P-S3, on the box it says AMD Athlon 64 x2/Athlon 64 socket AM2 platform, and Support AMD socket AM2.
Im currently looking at this new one: AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6000+ Processor 3.0GHz

Is this compatible with my Mobo? Im not very experienced with replacing CPU's. Is it just as simple as replacing ram for example, take out the old and plug in the new? Anything else needs to be done?
Or, if anyone could find any better deals or recommend better ones, that would be great. Has to be able to ship to Australia though, I know there are better deals from newegg.com and amazon etc, but cant ship here :(
Im looking for a price range of about $100-$170, Thanks!
