Also, should I upgrade CPU to dual core? I found one for £20

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.3GHz ADO4400IAA5DO AM2 65W Dual Core

Is my mobo in the HP DX5150 microtower AM2, socket 939 AM3 or some other socket???
Also will my mobo support 4gb ram 64bit windows 7? or should I stick to XP

Well it looks like you would need a 939 CPU.

I wouldn't bother changing the CPU.

If it was me i would change the motherboard, CPU and RAM.

Or you could wait and get access to the members market and grab a second hand bundle.

Ok, but by that time then I will probably have a brand new computer, but ok.
Found on eBay AMD Athlon 64 Skt 939 3800+ 2.4GHz ADA3800DAA4BW Free recorded delivery *TESTED*

do you think I should go for it???

T345 · 26 Apr 2012 at 18:34

Whoops, sorry its £20

pandem0nium · 26 Apr 2012 at 18:42

I would say that was a waste of money really. It's too old really to justify spending the money on upgrades.

T345 · 26 Apr 2012 at 18:43

I didn't buy it, I already have the rubbish computer, just thought of making it a bit modern.
I have not bought upgrades

Good choice

The only way forward really is start again from scratch. Could still use it as a slave machine for downloads or just the internet.

T345 · 26 Apr 2012 at 19:14

Yeah, might just save up some £££ and get a new pc,
