Need opinions on new CPU

Dire Radiant:
Yeah but I've lost count of occasions when people have asked me for the "wrong" upgrade (It's what I do) I've seen people ask me to upgrade their CPU to >3GHz when they're still using onbard intel graphics and 128MB RAM or "upgrade" their GF3 to a GF4MX. I hope Tommy is a little more sensible than that but you never know. It's astonishing how many otherwise intelligent people fall into Intel's "Clock cycles are everything" trap.

I've got a Dell dimesion 2350, Radeon pci 9200 128MB, 640Ram with the celeron 1.70, WINXP.

The 2.2 P4 is the best processor i can get without a new board they say.

Go for it dude.. not the best Video, but still better than onboard.. go for the pentium. youll thank me later..
Hoopz:
Get specifics on what pc games though.  If its FPS, then you are restricted as much by your video card than your cpu.

That's why I suggested getting a new mobo/cpu for $200 (if you can afford it).

You can go either P4 or AMD for more CPU power.  But you are still restricted by the video card for some games.
