Is it worth the money to upgrade from an Athlon 2400XP to an Athlon 32000XP? I am not sure however if my motherboard supports the 3200xp...i have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe....I mostly use my computer for games and such like CSS and WoW
 
It isn't worth upgrading to a 3200. If you do anything, upgrade to a newer AMD or Intel socket.
 
yeah i was thinking about upgrading the motherboard and CPU but wouldn't i end up having to upgrade my ram?
 
If you get a socket 939 Athlon, then with the right motherboard you wouldn't have to upgrade your current ram. But if you were going towards the AM2 line then you would as there not compatible with standard ddr ram.
 
I wouldn't get another Athlon no matter how powerfull it is, they're old and outdated, I know :P

Like nffc10 said, you could get a newer 939 board and CPU, but then again, they're still old.

The best thing to do would be buy a whole new motherboard (LGA 775), Core 2 Duo CPU and DDR2 RAM, with that I'm pretty sure you'd have to get a PCI-e graphics card too!

That's what I'm doing pretty soon anyway. :)
 
right now my computer runs fine and all, i guess the next step then is to just buy a new computer basically
