So i take it my amd 3500+ 2.2ghz is the old architechture then??
I'm afraid so. For example I went from a 3Ghz P4 (478 socket) to a 1.86Ghz E6300.
I used Super Pi as a CPU benchmark and my 1M times went from 45 seconds to 28 seconds. When I get a good motherboard to overclock my cpu I can expect to see around 18seconds. I would be very happy if i got under 15 seconds.

hang on what amd cpu socket is it. If its a 939 you can stick an s939 x2 (assuming theres some left) in the motherboard.
And single core cpu's have been old architecture for quite a while now
Motherboard dimension are usually one of three option, matx, atx or eatx, each one being slightly larger than the next. Usually tower cases use atx standard or in some cases btx but that never really took off and was more of a dell thing in the end.
