Im looking to change my Processor and I have no clue at all, about what fits with that motherboard and how to find out. So I hoped you could help me.
My current Processor is a: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Frequency : 2133 MHz Number of Core : 2 Support : Socket 775 LGA Cache L1 : 2 x 64 KB Cache L2 : 2048 KB And my Motherboard is a: Dell 0WG855 Chipset : Intel P965 Could anyone help me with finding/giving me an advice about what to buy/what not to buy? I'm looking for a processor that will be able to handle future games such as Aion |

Socket 775 is what you have.
I dont think you really can upgrade it to anything worth while, Intels P965 chipset only supports a 1066fsb were most of the new CPU's are 1333fsb, as far as I know! The recommended spec for the game you mentioned aren't that high, your cpu should handle it, maybe upgrading your graphics card would be better idea  Quote:

Yeah, that processor is fine for essentially anything.

World of Warcraft
On fight with lots of fire, and spell effects all at the same time I get a lot of FPS lag. Not my picture, just an example for the fire and effects going on: http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6668/89641526.jpg World of Warcraft When I play Boss Encounters with lots of spell effects and animations going on. Not my screenshot but a example: http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6668/89641526.jpg When stuff like that is going on I get down to as low as 7-10 fps Games as World of Warcraft When I play Boss Encounters, where there's a lot of spell animation's and effect's I get low FPS (7-10 FPS) Example of a such encounter: http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6668/89641526.jpg I dont think it's my Grapichs Card fault. |

What res? 1680x1050? WoW is horrible when it comes to optimization, have you tried turning down/off shadows?
