I want to change my processor but my budget is very low.. The two processors i found out were the d935 with 3.2Ghz n 4mb cache.. and a pentium dual core 2.6Ghz 2mb cache.. which one is better? i cant find any benchmarks regarding the two processors... kindly tell me which one is better..?

actually my brother is not the favor of changing the psu.. cz he thinks dell's psu are solid and reliable while others are not.. if i upgrade my psu a bit then i can look for the hd 5750 and 5770.. what should i do.? will changing the psu bring any harm to my computer??

The 305W should have 22A (264W) total. The TDP of the 5750 is 76W. This should leave 188W for everything else. The TDP of the E5300 is 65W. You'd still have over 100W for everything else, and they won't take that much. You'll be fine with the 5750.

I agree that the E5300 is a better CPU. Those P4s are junk.
