Upgrading cpu advice please.

hello, i want to upgrade my cpu from a 3.4HT (single core)to a pentium d 3.2 or 3.4 or better but not extreme editions. i know the D runs hot and its power hungry processor but i have no other choice for my mobo. im more a gamer
heres is my mobo:

A 935 is nice. It's a Presler (65nm) and runs cooler than Smithfield. It priced a quite a bit lower than the 940 and the same speed. It's just missing VT. If you just run on OS at a time like most people you will never miss VT.

i dont really need vt. Pentium D 935 is better than Pentium D 945? i can still overclock the cpu since my mobo has alot of oc'ing features.

If you want to overclock you can just get the 915. The difference is the multiplier. Odds are you will only be limited by your cooling with either one.

That's a nice mobo. Too bad it dosen't support Core 2.

so wat do u suggest me to get ? all i want is a cool & fast( in games ) cpu.

Well then get a killer HSF like like Toniq Tower 120 or Sycthe Infinity.

hmm so u suggest me to get a 915 ,adding a good hsf and overclocking it to the max possible ? this sounds good and cheap as well .thanks

Hmm

Just thought Id throw this out at ya... I have a bundle for sale on ebay with a 930 presler, hard drive and 2gb of PC533 DDR2.

Not sure if you needed the other stuff but its only going for $152 at the moment. Take a gander, also comes with a stock intel HSF...Everything is new OEM
