Thanks Cpt. Dogfruit, It was my mistake. I have a Core 2 Duo E6750 running at 2.66 Ghz, I am trying to work out if it is worth getting a Quad Core Q9400 running at 2.66 Ghz. That is still available, I looked on the M/B and it can take up to Q9650 running at 3.0 Ghz but no stock. My Motherboard is Asus P5QL Pro. Last time my old M/B died I had tobuy a new Windows XP with the new M/B as Microsoft would not allow the use of a different M/B on the same CPU and HDD. I realise that many things run in the background. I take absolutely heaps of photos and do a lot of Photo editing. I do not play games at all. I will at a later stage maybe Video editing, (not sure). If I want to get a better processor then that means I need a new motherboard and Memory and CPU, Lot of expense, I am not working at the moment. Please advise if you think I am wasting money, or should I get the new CPU or wait till I can afford a full New computer. Thanks in advance for your reply.
