Just looking for some options on upgrades.

Right now im running a cheap celeron processor i pulled out of my old comp. Its a 2.4 ghz Celeron

If i upgraded to:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...116-174&depa=1

how much would this help. also if you see a processor that you think would better suit me let me know. It has to be socket 478 cuz thats whats my mobo is and i dont want to upgrade that because i just upgraded that about 4 months ago. Im running a MSI Neo2 i cant remember the exact model. I think its in my sig hehe

Im also looking for a good Heatsink to keep this nice processor cool. Right now im using a standerd intel p4 heatsink and it dont seem to keep it cool very well.

also what would be the best Ram to run with that processor? im planning on getting 1 ghz of ram for it.

In my system now im having alot of problems with the PSU not supporting everthing. And its getting annoying. Plus my PSU seemed to put off alot of heat out the back of the computer and it seems like more than normal.

Give me some suggestions :-)

Better find out what FSB speeds your mobo supports before you go dropping that money...

I also see that my Mobo Supports Processors with the Chipset of ICH5R

I have neva herd of ICH5R b4. Nor can i find any proccessors with that chipset. Anyone know what it is?

That processor should work fine with your board, the main thing that is going to help is all that cache on that processor. Going from 128k L2 to 1mb of L2 is a nice big step
