Yes - but finding out which one you can upgrade to is the real question.\n\nIf you have the manual that came with the motherboard, it should list the options you have.  If not, examine the motherboard and determine the manufacturor and model number.  Then, do a yahoo search on it any you will probably be able to find the specs.

A good processor, the rest will operate just fine, I either have a pentium or amd athlon.. no generics for me even thought they might be cheaper they are cheap!!

First you need to do some research into your motherboard, to find out what processors it supports.\n\nWith that, you can then choose the fastest one supported.  If you have an older motherboard, you would probably be better off changing the motherboard and the processor.\n\nYou can easily get brand new 64 bit Sempron 3000 motherboard and CPU sets for under $200.  And you can get similar prices on new Celeron CPUs and boards.  When you take into account the advances in RAM speed, SATA, PCIe, and other options it normally makes more sense to replace both CPU and board if the system is over 2 years old.

yes buy a faster processor just make sure you get one of the same brand thats in there and that the motherboard will support it by going to the manufacturer of the motherboards website and looking at the specs or reading the book that came with it

Dude, BUILD ONE YOURSELF!  You'll get better components and you'll feel better about yourself having done this knowing you didn't just pay for Dell or Gateway to slap their name on it and give you an overpriced pc.\n\nAs far as AMD or Intel,  they both have great chips right now!  You wouldn't go wrong with either chip.  \nGeForce 7950 GX2 is top of the line right now alongside ATI's X1900 Crossfire graphics card.\nNVIDIA nForce 600i Series are built for gaming, Asus, Abit, MSI, Intel's 965 Extreme Edition chipset.\nLook at www.computerpoweruser.com also.  They offer some good comparisons of motherboards, graphics cards, memory, displays, etc.\nHere's a few sites that offer some good bundle deals and overall prices. \n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/\n\nhttp://newegg.com/\n\nhttp://www.pcmech.com/byopc/\n\nhttp://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Home.jsp\n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/index.hmx?\n\nGood luck & Have fun!

Both are equal, Intel might be a 'bit' better, but that hardly matters. The thing separating them is price. AMD processors are much cheaper than their Intel counterparts.

Now we are talking apples and oranges.  I my self have both AMD and Pentium processors.  It really depends on what you want your PC to do.  If you just surf the net and use your PC for email go with the cheapest processor out there.\n\nFor gaming go with a P4 or a AMD XP.  It really depends on how much money you what to spend and then you can boost that you have a P4 or an AMD and then tell people about your PC’s bench marks.   \n\nThe difference for most people is little.  Both do well.  I like both of them.  BTW I am using an AMD XP processor as I am typing this.  lol
