Nub needs processor help

[Cola]

Just out of curiousity, what's your graphics card?

Anyway, the cheapest solution here, is to look at hardware and computer forums (As geeks know what stuff like this is really worth, it's cheaper to buy from them), for a Socket 775 CPU. Your best shot here would be the Q9550. The Q6600 is not bad either.

Another option could be to upgrade both CPU, Motherboard and Ram, but that'll cost you a bit more, though you will get greater performance. (If you choose this, you should go for a Socket 1155 CPU. Preferably an Intel Core i5 2500k or 3570k)
