[nJoyo]

i have this motherboard, and thinking to upgrade the cpu but, dnt know which one to get, i need a good CPU

i have this motherboard Geforce6100SM-M V1.0

A quick check shows that board can do these processors:
AMD Athlon 64 FX/ Athlon 64/ Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core/ Sempron processor
The Athlon64 FX being the best one.

You will have to teach me how you are getting a Core 2 Duo to run on that motherboard.

what, i don't actually understand?

if thats the motherboard you have then how are you getting a intel processor to work in it? thats what he is saying

I am looking at your "My System Specs" and seeing that you are running a Core 2 Duo on an ASUS P5LP-LE motherboard.

If you have this new motherboard and are thinking about replacing the Asus motherboard and are looking for a processor for it then you should make that clear.

If you are working on a second computer then you should make that clear.

Well, that my another Pc, this is completely an another pc. so it's different, like i have said i'm looking for a new CPU for that motherboard. which is the best for that matter

Assuming this is the correct board,

then the best it can take is the AM2 Athlon 64 x2 6000+,

This is the board that nJoyo is referring to.

Here is the relevant CPU support list.

omg thank you ever so much stromy13!

 

[stormy13]

One thing to watch for is the wattage of the CPU from the CPU supported list. For example Newegg has all of one Athlon 64 x2 showing on their site,

Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

that will not work with that motherboard as it is the 125W version, and according to the support list the board only supports up to the 89W version of that CPU.

You're welcome, nJoyo. As a matter of fact, that is the CPU I have in my system (see my specs).

 

[nJoyo]

thank you dwarf!

 

[Dwarf]

You're welcome.

In fact, according to the website, my m/b only supports the 89W version, but is quite happily running with the 125W version (this was a m/b and CPU bundle).

This is what my m/b supports. Note that the processor I have installed was the fastest at the time, and that faster processors have since been added.
