What CPU Am I Able 2 Upgrade 2?

What CPU Am I Able 2 Upgrade 2?

HP p6214y

MOBO: Pegatron m2n78-la (Violet) Socket AM2+ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c01635734

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620 AM3 95Watt (2.6GHz) NO OC

GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6770 Single Slot ~ 850/1200 NO OC

PSU: 650W Antec Earthwatts

RAM: 8GB DDR2

I know that the Mobo on HP says what it says fro upgrade-able CPU's but it doesn't make sense seeing how it shows only AM2+ sockets rather than the AM3 that came with it.

so that in mind i was hoping if possible i could run a few CPU'S i had in mine:

AMD Phenom II X4 960T (3.0GHz, 95w, Socket AM2+/3)

AMD Phenom II X4 945 (Deneb 3.0GHz, 95w, AM2+/3)

AMD Athlon II X4 640 (Propus 3.0GHz, 95w, AM2+/3)

I was only looking to spend around 100-160$

AMDs Fusion is a cpu with integrated gpu, or actually I think its based on a mobile gpu with integrated cpu. Kinda like Intel's HD graphics, only more with more emphasis on the gpu.

Hmm, thinking of upgrading my wireless card...

Would i notice a difference if i upgrade the stock intel card to an intel 6235? Would an intel 6300 be better (but i only have 2 antennaes?)

Edit: Just found out the stock only operates on 2.4ghz, so i'm upgrading....now then, 6235 or 6300....
[Off-topic] AtoZ0to9:
I have a 6300 with only 2 antennas and get a full link state of 300mbps and a speed test between 105 and 110 over WiFi... the 6230 or 6235 is also dual band only two antenna connectors and has Bluetooth... so I'd expect the same performance as the 6300 plus Bluetooth... I'm very dissatisfied with Intel's drivers for the 6300... every time I format it takes like 5 driver installs and have to use the oldest ones to break 100... 6235 I haven't seen any complaints like that... you need a dual band router and use the 5ghz channel to see the benefits...

In you case, since it's the schools WiFi, you may be able to do that... WiFi adapters either have 1, 2, or 3 antennas... Same with Routers.... 1, 2, or 3..... So if you're only using 2 of the 3 available antennas the router has, getting a 3 antenna adapter would work for you... Before you make any purchases though, you need to speak with your schools IT equipment about their equipment... Don't want to be wasting money, with no gain...

Here I'd planned to avoid it after testing it once and hatin git. And then my boss buys a set of flaptops and makes me set them up... And they come with W8. This should be fun, everyone here is a complete retard when it comes to computers. It'll be hilarious to see them muck about in W8, as everything's a mess.

So what's wrong with it:

Swipe. Great on a touchscreen. Horrible with a mouse.

Smart Screen. Dafuq, go away. Ugly! Useless!

Start button. Has gone Poof. My eternal gratitude to the people behind ClassicShell. http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/

Touch gestures on a trackpad. No, just no.

Shutdown. Where the bloody hell have you gone? (another thanks to Classicshell. Lifesaver!)

Boot. SLOW My cluttered XP is faster!

I do not want an Appstore, sod off.
