Hp Computer
AND athlon 64X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.00 GHz
4 GB of RAM
180gb of harddrive
Nivida GeForce 6150 LE

What would be a new good processor for me to get... It has to be Intel because it runs better for me. Under $125?
What would be a good graphics card? Price?

You cant install a Intel CPU in a AMD socket. Period.
As for a graphic card you can get a mid range nvidia 8 series for about $150-$200 from newegg or tigerdirect...

Unfortunately you cannot just switch from the AMD to the Intel processors, they use a totally different socket and you would have to purchase more components.
There is nothing wrong with your dual core AMD processor, that is a very recent system, so there is no reason to upgrade. If your system is running slowly run a virus scan, as well as an ad-ware/spyware scan to remove any undesired software that may be plagueing your system and then you can get things running better.
Go to www.download.com and you can get Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, and Hijack this which will all help in removing those types of malware on your system.
As for your video card, you could use an upgrade, so i would look on www.newegg.com and look for a video card with at least 128mb - 256mb of video ram and something from Nvidia or ATI.
Good luck!

You'll get the same processor except intel's core 2 duo for under $125. For $200 you can get:
Intel Core™2 Duo Processor E6750 2.66GHz w/ 4MB Cache
A very nice high speed processor.
As for a graphics card:
GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB
Pretty decent graphics card $150 and provides great 3d support for gaming.
Core Clock: 675MHz
Shader Clock: 1450MHz
Pretty good for the price.

A new motherboard would be a good idea. Switch to intel would be great... NCIX.com or newegg.com will get you excellent deals. A new motherboard is a must as you have a AMD motherboard and you would need a 775 pin motherboard (intel) aswell as a 775 intel chip. You should probably wait until a larger sum of money has been acumulated. I would completly make a new build. Keep the OS, Harddrive, ram and replace everything else. Possibly keep the case depending on its quality.

Keep what you have. Vista isn't all it's cracked up to be and is a memory hog and slower than XP Pro w/ SP2 and all patches applied.
You'll never get out of it what you have put into it $$$ wise.
You may/may not be able to go higher in the CPU on that Mobo (it isn't listed so I don't have the info to determine it).
You cannot put an Intel chip into that AMD branded board.
You need to ask yourself the question....Does this computer work for me?....Screw what others say. Not all your existing pcs will work in a new mobo, so $125.00 is way low $$$ wise. I build puters. Don't listen to others on what is best for your situation.

A new intel motherboard, together with either E6550 or E6750. It many not fit your budget, but anything lesser will leave you with E4 series, which performance isn't as good as the E6 series there. You many not notice much improvement that way.
graphic card, 8800 GT 512MB is a good buy currently,

you do know for an intel CPU you have to get a new motherboard, right? Your processor isn't that bad, it's your graphics that's the bottleneck, besides the fact XP can't handle 4 Gigs of RAM

initiate with the seen hardware awareness in typing is a + teach them the point of domicile windows on a working laptop or laptop, and be taught it (temporarily) with different os like Linux,Mac etc tell them what 'laptop' ability initiate with information superhighway using Firefox/IE conceal all the essential records/folders in ur laptop and ask them to do even in the event that they like to- it somewhat is a shown technique. tell them that they've finished authority over the laptop, and that they are able to do even in the event that they like to. Now be sluggish in coaching them the above steps. i prefer to propose 2 subjects consistent with day. interior of a month they are going to be honest laptop consumers.

The best way to answer this question is to know what you use the computer for.
Serious gamer?
Only checking email?
Video editing?
You need to match the system to how you are going to use the system.
