I have some older Dell OptiPlex PC with an Athlon 4450e APU, it runs XP and the CPU load reaches it's max all the time. What APU would the best to upgrade to, or CPU to upgrade to but then I need to get a cheap graphics card. So preferably an APU.
 


Yes sorry, it has some ancient GPU in it that works, so what CPU could I use as a maximum option.
 


The Athlon 64 X2 6000+ looks like it could work but you will not really get a difference for Athlon is pretty old.

 


Are you sure there are no quad cores..? and that 6000+ is defiantly not an option because of the 125w TDP.

That is the AM1 socket.
 

AM1 and AM2 are compatible. They should be because AM3 and AM3+ are compatible but only AM1 chips on AM2 will not work the other way.
