Upgrading my computer!! Need a few things!

Yes, you need a good power supply to go with a decent 1GB video card.

What motherboard are you getting? Write it down and I'll tell you if you have to worry
 
That's your processor, I wanted motherboard make and model. For e.g. ASUS P5E Deluxe. You can check in a program which is Everest Ultimate Edition then we can fit you a perfect match processor
 
Alright guys, so all looks good? E5300 or E5200 on my mobo? :) and "Nm" doesnt matter? Because my FSB and Sockettype lock up. So an upgraded PSU and GPU and im set xD?
 
The MB in that thing is a Hewlett-Packard 09F0h. I find very little information on the MB other than the chipset which is an Intel i945. HP themselves do not list much in the way of CPU support. Right now unless someone finds a more comprehensive support list I don't think that MB is going to support an Exxxx series CPU.

I posted a listing earlier for the specs on that MB.
 
NM is a abbreviation for nanometre. A nanometre is a unit of measure.

If you know what a Meter is (another unit of measure) is (about 39 inches). A nanometre is one billionth of a meter.

To get a perspective on size of a nanometre is is a handy link.

What is a nanometre?

In computer mfg, the object is to size the transistors as small as you can in the smallest space. Right now 45MN is the size being produced for use in computer processors.
So it's not 45nm or 65nm being better, its about describing the the size of the components on the chip. You get more with 45nm.
 
Alrighty, so regardless of me having a 90nm, i'd be able to run a 45nm? I figured as much so. I just needed more or less a second opinion, for that thanks :P. So all and all, the E5300 or E5200 is my ideal choice for my mobo then?
 
Yes it will be able to run 45nm. In motherboards it's an extra support for multi-cored processors

About how much you are looking for?

ASUS P5E Deluxe - $125

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 - $120

ASUS P5QL PRO LGA 775 Intel P43 - $84

ASUS P5KPL-CM LGA 775 Intel G31 - $52

If you do not mind spending more than a 100 dollars on a motherboard, go with either ASUS P5E Deluxe, or GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R. About $5-10 difference and both are great boards. ASUS P5E Deluxe will be better for overclocking your Intel E5200.

Well if you'd check on the previous pages and such. Im upgrading from my 2.8 HT Prescott,

To Either..
E5300
or a
E5200

Which are currently both 45nm.
And I will add I will most likely be OC one of these, as they go to 3.5 OC pretty well I've heard.

Hmm i very well may get that mobo, but theoretically from all of this, shouldn't my board be stable enough to run the E5200?
 
But what motherboard you've got? You didn't tell me your make and model. Is it ASUS? GIGABYTE? What model?

If that is HP DC7600 then that is the list of compatible processors:

* Intel P4 521 (2.8/800/1M) processor with EM64T
* Intel P4 531 (3.0/800/1M) processor with EM64T
* Intel P4 541 (3.2/800/1M) processor with EM64T
* Intel P4 630 (3.0/800/2M) processor with HyperThreading
* Intel P4 640 (3.2/800/2M) processor with HyperThreading
* Intel P4 650 (3.4/800/2M) processor with HyperThreading
* Intel PD 820 (2.8x2/800/2xMB L2 Cache) Dual Core Processor (not available on the USDT)
* Intel PD 830 (3.0 Ghz clock speed, 800 MHz FSB, 2x1M L2 cache)
* Intel PD 840 (3.2 Ghz clock speed, 800 MHz FSB, 2x1M L2 cache
* Intel Pentium 4 660 (3.6/800/2M) processor with HyperThreading
* Intel Pentium 4 670 (3.8/800/2M) processor with HyperThreading

Celeron Processors

* Intel Celeron D Processor 331
* Intel Celeron D Processor 336

I'm taking a wild guess its Asus, HP usually uses ASUS Boards from what I've heard. This was originally just a stock HP DC7600.

I upgraded everything else so far. Just doing the Proc. Now
