CPU upgrade from AMD Athlon 3800+

[zed1890]

I have a AMD Athlon 3800+ CPU and it is getting downright slow. Its not my main machine but would like to upgrade to a more decent CPU, what would be a good processor that would be a decent upgrade. I believe its a socket 939. Some ideas would be great. Thank you!

What motherboard?

If it's a socket 939 motherboard, you're going to want to be looking for an Athlon X2-4800+, but you'd definitely want to let us know the model number of the board to make sure.

Here are some pictures of the motherboard and some numbers, not sure what one is the model number. If the name of the computer helps any, it is a Acer Aspire T180

ok. That's actually an AM2 socket motherboard. ECS MCP61SM-AM. Check to make sure this is your board.

If this matches your motherboard, you should be able to install an AMD Athlon Dual-Core X2-6000+ processor. Maybe try this: AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6000+ 3GHz Dual-Core Processor
