I have a desktop computer with MSI RS482M4-ILD motherboard running AMD Athlon 64 processor. I have 1GB Corsair DDR RAM. Nowadays the PC games are more resource-crunching so I want to upgrade my machine with a faster processor to run GTA4, Mercenaries 2 and other games. Can you suggest what processor can I upgrade my machine keeping the same motherboard ? My motherboard suggests having 939 socket with 1GB FSB support. I need something equivalent to 2.6 - 3.0 GHz speed, preferably core-two-duo , is it possible and feasible without upgrading my motherboard ? Suggestions will be welcome. Please also mention the price in INR for the processor.
