I would not reccommend taking this cat's advice. There is no 3600+.

AMD Processor Stepssocket type)
2800+ (754)
3000+ (754/939)
3200+(754/939)
3500+ (939)
3700+ (939)
3800+ (939)
4000+ (939)

Guys he has a 423 socket INtel. He will be lucky to even find a processor for a socket 478, much less a 423. The fastest socket 423 is 2Ghz which would only be a 200mhz upgrade.

If you want an A64 processor you will also need a new motherboard.

Yes, you need a new system board if you want a substantial processor upgrade.

I hate to hog your thread but I'm not too upto date with Cpu's myself and I'm looking for an AMD for gaming. I don't mind about price but nothing too expensive.
