Processor/Graphics Question
I Would like to upgrade to a faster processor. What can I upgrade to from a Pent. D 930 3GHz?
I just purchased and installed a PNY GeForce XLR8 9800 GT 1024MB (PCIe x16 2.0 GDDR3) graphics card. Do I need to upgrade the PSU as well, or can I leave it as is?
Thank you,

What model PC? We can't answer the CPU upgrade question without that. Same way with your question about the power supply.

The stock power supply is a 375 Watt, if it's like most Dell power supplies Dell tends to underrate them so I would think it's more like a 400 or 425 watt power supply.
The CPU specs state "Intel® Pentium® 4 Socket-T with Hyper-Threading or Dual-Core support" which would seem to limit you on CPU choices.

I was looking here http://compare.intel.com/pcc/showchart.aspx?mmID=33870,39193&familyID=1&culture=en-US to compare processors.
What do I need to look at to make sure it will fit the socket and I guess the MOBO.
Thanks,
