Ok buying a dual core while they are still out and about for the dieing socket 939… I’m cheap so don’t say buy a new PC. Anyways, I updated BIOS and drivers to the newest out, anything else I need to do besides plug and play? It’s an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ 2.1 GHz Processor My mobo supports AMD Athlon64, AMD Sempron and Athlon 64 X2 processors… Anyways, anything else I should be aware of? Thanks. PS Upgrading from an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ so should be quite an upgrade… ---

Just needed some reassurance before I pull it out and dive right into it, I’d be scared of the new startup! Who needs to buy a whole new one when I can spend $150 and get a dual core and upgrade to 4gb ram?! ---
