pc upgrading help

[nzskiing]

These are the pc specs:
ASUS P5G41T-MLX:
Intel® Pentium® Processor E6500 2.93:
2gb of ddr3 memory.

What decent cpu that supports hyper threading can i use in this rig? it will be a lan gaming rig. Also ram? I live in new zealand and paying over sees prices are out of reach.

Thanks

None. There are a couple of two Core Pentiums that run on the LGA775 socket with early Hyperthreading, that was not particularly efficient.

If you want a better CPU consider a Core2 Quad processor.

I'm actually a beverage exile, living overseas. I was deported because I don't like beer.

I don't know of any. That's an old socket. LGA1151 is the most recent, LGA2011 before, LGA1150 before, LGA 1156 before, then LGA775.

Do you know anyone coming back from overseas, CPUs are very compact, so it would fit in luggage easily.

Is there a second-hand market in NZ. Might be able to pick up a lightly used one. Only driven by a little old lady to church on Sundays, never raced, rallied, or rolled.

Too 'flexible' and I'm too out of touch with that. You will have to look around yourself. You could try asking at a store that specializes in PCs and PC repair. They may have something dead that could be salvaged.
