Thanks for your reply and ur recommendation.....I just wanna make sure this upgrade will speed up my PC without the result of buying another PC..I heard that if I upgrade it ...it wont work for the motherboard, RAM, Graphics card etc.. so i wanna make sure.

Very important to:
1.
If computer is "manufactured" (ie. Dell, Compaq etc.), check with the computer manf. to determine which processors the mobo will support.
2.
If computer is "custom built", check with the mobo manf. to determine which processors the mobo will support.
3.
Guess :sayno: Just because the board is, say, a Socket A, doesn't necessarily mean that it will support the entire Socket A family of processors
Download and run Everest Home Edition for a more detailed system inventory.
You can also run simple benchmarks for a "before and after" the upgrade.
