Ok well I need to upgrade my processor and ram. And I know which ram to get. But I don't know what processor to get. I'm not asking someone to find me one but to tell me how to find it. So I may pick one for myself. Something with a chipset? Idk but please don't tell me to google it. Thank you guys, Halofreak
 
Well I need a processor for my motherboard. I was just saying that I need help with how to figure out one that will work with my motherboard. I need someone to explain how to find a processor for my motherboard.
 
you need to find out your motherboard make and model like stranglehold said. then from that you can find out what SOCKET type your processor has to be. then any processor of that socket should work.

Sometimes finding the compatibility is as easy as checking the socket and chipset, oftentimes this is not enough. The board itself may not be compatible, even through BIOS updates.. To be absolutely certain research in all areas must be done.

After googling abit, it seems it won't be compatible with a c2d, despite being an LGA775 board (altogether common). You can call up ECS and confirm this incompatibility if you want to be certain. However it will accept a Pentium D 9xx, while not equal to the C2D chips, is probably of good site better than your current Cel D.
 
...depends on the budget, but I'd probably go with hermeslyre's idea. Pentium Ds should be pretty cheap now that intel's dumped NetBurst, and they're a great(?) deal faster than the celeron you've currently got, and also happen to be dual-core which is a little plus. For the "normal stuff" (surfing, music, movies, word processing and so on) and light-to-medium-wieght gaming Pentium Ds should be just fine, probably even better than just fine, I do believe...

Yeah slight problem, with the current processors, we can't upgrade it, because your motherboard is a Pentium D and also your motherboard supports a max of 1GB of ram.

What is your budget??? i + other members can help you upgrade, motherboard, processor and more ram
