3.0 GHz xps 400 upgrade????

[tomjgum1]

hey i was wondering if there are any 3.0 GHz or 3.2 GHz Pentium D's or 4's (for cheep) that will fit in my xps 400

current: pentium D 2.80 GHz 820 LGA775

i have upgraded cooling so im prepared and i have 4 gigs for ram

i need a new faster processor to handle my GTS 240 its bottle necking @ 45 fps 🙁 and mw3 loads slow 🙁 🙁

if anyone has any suggestions it would help

I don't think it will make any significant difference, between what u have and 3.2MHz.

Any dual core CPU's or ones with HYPERTHREADING because most games need at least 2 cores 😛



Edit: saw hyperthreading but didn't see any dual core still ??? Also will the e6600 3.0GHz work???

 

[nikorr]

Core 2 Duo would make a visible impact. Well, u wan't to have some performance that u can see, don't u?

NO
Pentium D only ( unless you really want a P4 ), no Core2Duo will work on your board.

I am not suggesting to buy one, just saying that, to see any difference in performance C2D would do it for sure. Yes, it would not fit!

OK, your first post didn't make much sense for me, so to be clear.

What mobo do u have available ? Also, do u have e6600?

No my grandma had a HP pivlion w/ pentium dual core e6600 I put it in and it didn't work but it fit in the socket

Its not dual core, its Core 2 Duo E6600. Dual core is something else yet.

Use this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116404
