upgrade on amd cpu?

Question

i have a compag sr1719 with a "MSI 7184" motherboard.. does anyone know if i can upgrade to a better processor? atm i have at amd athlon 64bit 3200 but i want something like a quad core amd or a dual core amd athlon 64 3200+ does anyone know if they have the same compatible sockets?

Answer 1

a 4200 dual core cpu will fit your board. ive got one on socket 939 and its kicks ***. cheap too. you used to be able to get the 4400 but they are thin on the ground now. also, maybe up your ram. i assume you have ddr400 (pc3200) another gig should only cost £30 or so.

Answer 2

You may be able to get a socket 939 dual core, but these are becoming increasingly hard to find. Since amd's main socket being AM2(or socket 940) thats the processors there pumping out, and now they are bringing in a new socket type, AM3 i think...........
The single core 3200+ is a compitent cpu and should cope well with most things, I would suggest ebay to buy a used cpu and hopefully get a dual core of something around the 4000+ or better..........
If your not sure on the security of ebay, it may be time to delve deep and do a major upgrade...........

Answer 3

the two those cpu's are socket AM2 and the 5600 will in high-quality condition no probs. the socket AM2+ motherboards help the phenoms. i might additionally look at getting the 6400+ cpu, its have been given two times the cache memory of the 5600 and is swifter and in easy terms approximately £10 greater. in case you already know what motherboard you have and are keen to do a bios replace, you are able to nicely be waiting to apply the recent 7750+ black version. those are very sturdy cpu's too.

Answer 4

You have a 939 socket.
Quad = no.
Dual = yes (but not all dual AMD model CPUs)
