Hi , I have a pretty old PC I want to bring a bit of life in.
I dont use it for much, I game on my Xbox , but I just thought I could get a better cheap CPU for it.
Its current specs are
ASUS P5L-MX mobo (LGA775) with a Pentium Celeron D 3.33 CPU and a Nvidia 8800GT GPU.
I dont want to spend money on a new cpu/mobo/ram bundle, I was more looking into getting a faster cheap CPU from ebay or something
in order to get a bit more performance and not bottleneck the GPU so much.
The CPU I was looking into was the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
My question is this: Even though it says it is supported on the motherboard's website I wanted to ensure that it would work. And also how much would performance improve?

Thank you in advance
