    Hey, I was looking to buy a new CPU because I have a feeling it's bottle necking my computer by quite a bit ( Specs Below) and I was wondering what a really good 754 pin CPU would be.
PC SPECS:
AMD 64 3000+
1GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 7800GS OC'd

Socket 754 - they are quite old. I think they only support Sempron CPUs now.

Probably the best option - although that will cost more money.

There's no point upgrading to another 754 CPU. That's near the high end of what that socket can do. You might as well wait and get a new motherboard, CPU and RAM. Either Socket AM2 or 775 that can support Core 2 Duo's.

If his current computer is AGP - upgrading to a new PCI-E motherboard may also mean a graphics card change.
