Yeah - but could you trade in the MAC for a 4,500 dollar discount on your next car :D

MAC's for Clunkers

Haha Mac's for Clunkers that's a good one probably not worth $4500 though they are only are worth about $500 for the hardware the rest goes to the OS.

What do you mean support you crap what do you have in there besides the hard drive and PSU everything else will be replaced right. If your going to get a pentium 4 then you should just keep what you got because you will see little to no increase in performance. How much do you have to spend what is you total budget for everything.

im gonna put 4gb ram and not pentium 4 pentium dual core

Let me put it this way your going to pay as much for a Pentium 4 dual core as you will a brand new never used AMD Dual core that will be 1200% better then the Pentium. If you get a Pentium you will need DDR RAM 4GB of that will be well over $100. And if you go with a Pentium then most likely everything is going to be used. You can get a brand new AMD Athlon II X2 2.8GHz, New motherboard, and 4GB of DDR2 for probably a little over $150. You can get the the Pentium 4 used with used motherboard and new ram probably for about the same price you decide.

Yep, AMD is the way to go if you are upgrading an old computer, or building a new one, great for those 400$ upgrades, if you want the new intel tech. expect to pay over 900 minimum. Unless you want to go core2.

no no new intel about core 2 duo might do fine or will it ???????

Core 2 duos are overpriced and you can get something better with AMD. Not only that but core 2 duos are socket 775 which is nearly at the end of it life and production will be stopped soon.

Probably a bad CPU or the heatsink could of quite working either that or it was probably an older AMD and those things where like little heat pads.

Probably all you probably had to do was get a new CPU or Heatsink the rest was probably good.
