So the processor that came with my machine fits a [U]Socket AM2 (940)[/U]. I want to buy a better processor that will fit this socket. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/R2rTO.png[/IMG] Any help? Can't afford to build a new machine right now. [editline]1st January 2013[/editline] AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6400+ is the fastest I can find but where could I buy one.
Ebay is your only option. Not worth it imo, wait until you have ~$200 for a new motherboard and CPU.

Not necessarily, you just won't be seeing as huge amounts of performance boosts as you would with saving a bit more for a full upgrade.
What GPU do you have?
