First let me say sorry for a kind of double post, I had a post asking for any good deals on external hard drives but then it turned into a post about that and cpu but i think that thread has pretty much died!
Below is the specs of my motherboard, can any body reccommend a good, cheap cpu that is better then the one i am using at the moment? I do not mind if the cpu is used as long as working so ebay is a good place but having never bought a cpu before i do not know what i need to search for or which cpu is better then others.
