I am dealing with a HP computer that currently has a P4 3ghz processor. I was reading my manuels and found out it said that it is a Socket: 775, Supports Pentium D (Smithfield) up to 3.2 GHz and Pentium4 (Prescott) up to 580 and 670. I was looking at this:

What I am wondering is.... would it be worth it for me to upgrade to the PentiumD 840 3.2ghz processor or just keep my P4 3.0ghz? I am planning on playing Crysis and know that it requires a P4 2.8 ghz and am thinking that this could def help my performance. I can't go out and buy a whole brand new comp (getting married and buying a home in just over a year from now) so I am doing what I can to runa pretty good rig with using what I have.
I was also considering getting a 7950gt for $150 but decided to await until Crysis and HL 2 Episode 2 comes out to see which cards run them the best. By that time, I'm hoping that the 8800gts are much cheaper. Thanks for the help.
Also, does the Pent. D 8400 have 64bit capability?
Thanks!!
