I have a dell e521 with a anthon 64 3500 single core cpu. Can i upgrade to a duel core cpu. Thanks in advance.

Yes. Your motherboard is an AM2 class nForce4 6150 board.

This 6400+ is pretty fast.

I was thinking of going with the 5800 for heat reasons, i already have 3 gigs of ram and a bfg tech 9500gt video card. I,m planing on upgrading my ram to pc6400 after my cpu upgrade. After that i guess i,ll have to up the power supply to do much else. Thanks for the info.
