Probably not much better than is in it. If it supports the Q8200, you can probably install a Q9550 or Q9650, but these are basically the same CPU, just higher clocked.

Q9650 - will probably want to ensure you have the latest BIOS

PCnoobmuch · Sep 25, 2016

Is there a point upgrading ive got the Q8200.
Also if not whats a cheap CPU then

Tradesman1 · Sep 25, 2016

Yes, it's a good upgrade if hanging on to that rig, I'd be looking to a newer rig. The difference between the 8200 and the 9650 is 2.33 vs 3.0, also the 9650 OCs better, used to have one and ran it at 4. Also you asked what is the best.

What about the Core 2 Quad Q9705 3.16GHz
NVM to expensive for short period time

PCnoobmuch · Sep 25, 2016

PCnoobmuch · Sep 25, 2016

My god, apparently the one that i have is worth 40. To bad its used lol. its worth 30 used.

PCnoobmuch · Sep 25, 2016

So should i just wait to get an i5

I would not waste money upgrading. The hardware is dated. Anything you put into it is only going to provide a marginal benefit. It is best in my opinion to hold off until you can buy a more modern system.
