Hey guys,

I currently have 1gb DDR ram, X800XT PE card, but only an AMD Athlon 2800XP. Now I have the feeling that the CPU is seriously bottlenecking my system so looking for an upgrade but a bit confused. I can't put an AMD 64 chip in my board can I? (A7N8X mobo) and they don't do 3200+ chips any more for my board. So would you recommend an AMD 64 capable mobo with a 3200+ chip? Or something that supports dual core?

Cheers!
 
Ok, if I went for the X2, would the fan I have for my 2800+ be OK for it? Is it just a straight job of attaching the new fan over the new X2? Or do I need thermal paste or something?
