I want to buy a LGA775 socket processor...it must be more than 2.00ghz and 2 cores...
I think intel e5500 is a good choice but please suggest me a better processor. my budget is Rs.5000. It can be raised to Rs.500 more...my gpu is amd sapphire hd5450 2gb and i have 2 gb ram...should i also increase my ram? and how much will the total amount be???THANK YOU...

SHLOK KAMAT,

You may have difficulty in finding a four core Socket 775 running at more than 3GHz. for a price of Rs.5500 (about US $88). l

Also, before buying you must first check >

1. The motherboard "FSB" speed as Socket 775 might use anything from a 533 to 1333.

2. Check the chipset model and ensure that the selected replacement is compatible.

3. Check the "lithography" of the current CPU. That is the distance between the transistors expressed in "nm" (nanometer). This will be 65, 55, or 45nm and the replacement CPU must be the same.

The easiest method to upgrade is the situation in which you have a Dell, Compaq, HP etc. Go back to the original manual or advertisements and see which was the fastest CPU sold when the system was new.

Here is a list of Socket 775 CPU's to get started >

The best choice will be a " Core 2 Quad " four core> and the "Extreme" series are the fastest. Note though that the 3GHz and above Socket 775 CPU's can sometimes cost quite a bit, almost as much as a new one.

The best Socket 775 in my opinion is the Xeon X3380 < quad core @ 3.16GHz with 12MB cache >

This requires certain chipsets and the motherboard must be a 1333MHz FSB- not 1066 or 800.

> That site "ARK" is fantastic and can be searched for details on all Intel products. again,but you must first check that you motherboard is compatible. Also, I think you would want to have 8GB of RAM to be able to run more than one or two applications. Your system will be using DDR2 memory and again you must check the speed. I have three systems with Socket 775 and they each use different speed RAM- 533, 667, and 800! Note that DDR2 RAM costs more than DDR3 and runs quite hot. So when you change to a faster, more core CPU, you must ensure the cooling is proper.

In the end, it may be less expensive and time-consuming to install a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM which will also be much faster. It's quite difficult to ensure that all the important features are compatible. I once purchased a Socket 775 CPU (Core 2 Duo for a Dell Precision 380) and also RAM that were not correct in some detail and didn't work.

You may also find something like a Dell Optiplex 760 or 780 with the features you need and that is not much more expensive than a CPU alone.

Cheers,
