cpu upgrade question

Hi, I currently have a p4 3.2 ghz. I found a very cheap computer with an amd athlon 3700+ 2.4ghz on craigslist.


My question is, for 125 bucks, is it worth the upgrade?

Nothing else in the computer interests me besides the cpu, I would simply swap in my current gpu/soundcard/ram.

I'm not very experienced, so buying a cpu/mobo and installing it in my current pc is out of the question.

I agree with dobby...its definitely not worth that much money to simply swap out the processor...if you were planning to swap the gpu/soundcard/ram, then why not get new parts??? You said you were unexperienced, but swapping out gpu/soundcard/ram is probably just as "difficult" as swapping in a new cpu and mobo...like dobby said, you could easily get a cheap dual core that will GREATLY improve your computer.
