I've got an old optiplex gx620 (the fat one), and I'd like to get a little more out of it. I had an hp slimline 5xxx that I sold recently (no pci-e slot) with an amd athlon II x2 processor and 4gb ddr3 ram that could do ANYTHING faster than my optiplex, with the exception of gaming. I want to achieve that speed without spending a fortune.
Here's what I've got.
Intel Pentium D 820 Cpu 2.8ghz, dual core, LGA 775 socket
305 watt power supply
Stock cooling
Nvidia Geforce 9600 GS 768mb
4gb pc2-6400
Mother board: 0HH807
Bios: A11
I was looking at this processor.

That's a pentium D 945 3.4ghz dual core
Other than getting this, is there anything else at all I can do? Or is that the end of my GX620's upgrade life? Since money matters, I can't sink more than an additional $120 into this machine. Minus the $50 or so for the above mentioned processor.
