Upgrading Procesor

I currently have DELL E5150 and a Intel 650 3.4 ghz processor and my mobo is a i945G/GZ Chipset, i did some research and it is possible to upgrade my processor to a Pentium D, Pentium EE, and even Core Duo.... but the Core Duo part sounded kinda fishy... so my questions is what is the best processor i can get that my motherboard supports?

    Hi,
     
    From what I think, Pentium 4 650 is already good enough for your system. You can still achieve better performance from Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73Ghz (But it costs alot). Pentium D is not recommended although it has dual core because its arithmetic and floating point performance loses out to Pentium 4 640 in Sandra's Benchmark. It gets hot easily and is also expensive.
     
    Hope that helps! :)

    Hi,
     
    Try 3.73 Extreme Edition. 945G Chipsets should support Core Duo (supposedly). Extreme Edition is great for gaming.
     
    Hope that helps! :)
