Is it worth upgrading my CPU?
I have a gateway PC with a 2.8 ghz dual core Pentium D CPU at 3 gig of RAM.
Motherboard Model D945GCZ
Motherboard Ver. AAD41668-501
I need more processing power but cannot afford to buy a new PC for maybe another year. I can pick up a Intel Pentium D 960, 3.6 GHz CPU for under $200. I run multiple stock trading platforms which require lots of processing power and I’m thinking the upgrade will provide the lift I need but not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Yeah, Pentium D is ancient technology. Your best bet is to get a motherboard/cpu combo off of a reputable website like newegg.com and make sure you can use the memory you already have. You can get a nice Athlon X2 and a motherboard which will smoke the Pentium D for under $100 before shipping.
