I have a quick question. I have a family member who needs an upgrade of their current slower AMD Duron running at 800 mhz. This new upgrade will have the latest and great Oracle Applications running on it, so it takes about 30 gigs to install on it. What processor would be the most efficient way to go running Oracle, Quad or Dual Core, Intel or AMD..I'm looking to spend the least amount of money. Thanks in advance
 
I'll offer what little knowledge I have... Does the mobo support Intel and AMD? You should do some research on your mobo, otherwise you might buy peices that aren't compatible with it.

Your at a dead end with your Processor and motherboard. Its a socket A and will not use a Dual or Quad core. If you want to go AMD you need a AM2+ Socket board or for Intel a Socket 775 with at least a P35 chipset. Plus theres many processors to pick from in Dual core and a lesser amount of Quad cores.
 
so vk3fcll, is the processor that you provided slower than the AMD AM2 6400 X2 that runs @3.2Ghz?. I'm thinking the latest and great AM2 6400 X2 3.2Ghz should be adequate to run oracle applications. Maybe the Quad core might be over doing it? What do you think? 4 gigs of ram will be installed that's for sure and a good size hard drive

go for that CPU and then have 2 to 3 GBs of ram.
