my specs

amd athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 4400+ 2.3ghz
3gb ram ddr2 sdram
sapphire HD4650 1gb
motherboard

Would it be worth it to upgrade my processor to a AMD Athlon II X2 250 AM3 3Ghz 2Mb? Would it work seeing i think my motherboard is AM2 and the processor is AM3?

If it wont could anyone recommend a decent processor?

thanks

I would't get an Athlon II. Its weird that I WOULD recommend the Sempron 140. :? You sure you can't afford a Phenom II X2?

I would give Compaq an email asking whether the motherboard bios supports the CPU you wish to upgrade to.
