Upgrade pentium 4

[Executor66]

is it worth upgrading to a 3.8GHz pentium 4 if my motherboard supports it? im trying not to spend to much on uprading my pc.

no, even if it's free the netburst P4s run really hot and would need better cooling or would cause your fans to go nuts, save up and buy athlon/pheonon/i5/i7/etc.

No unless you are upgrading from something like a 1.8 - 2.4Ghz Northwood.
But not work spending more then 50$

Am2+ Motherboard
AthlonIIX2
2x1gig ram kingston DDR2-800

Should cost you quite a bit less then 200$ and will be a day and night difference over any P4's
