Upgrading cpu

[wezcas11]

i have a msi P4M800Pro m/b, currently running a intel celeron d 2.66ghz and am in desperate need an upgrade. i have done some research into this and i have found a few good processors and i was woundering if anyone could give me some advice on what they think the best upgrade would be for me. i have a radeon 256 MB AGP 8X/4X gfx card. the socket for cpu is 775. i will be using my system for gaming (obviasly not top end) and would appreciate any help on this matter thanks

Socket 775 is a dead end.

I can't really reccomend throwing money into a system that will gain hardly anything with newer components.

You really should save up for a newer system.

Save your hard earned money for something that will actually reward the seperation of $$$. My opinion, if you are on a very tight budget, FM1 Llano 2.9GHz integrated with a 6550 gpu, and an Asrock FM1 board for $55. This will run with any psu you own, and as long as your cd-drive and hdd have sata connections, you should be ok without too much more money.

Total for those 2 items is $195.
