New Processor...

I am looking to upgrade my processor to what the max my mother board can handle. However I have never done so before and no idea what I need.

I got this info using AIDA32

My specs:

Mother board: DFI KM400-MLV / KT400A inifiinty
Bus Width 64-bit
CPU: AMD athlon XP 1833 MHZ/2200+
CPUID: AMD sempron(tm) 2600+

I have googled all this and nothing says here is what you have and this is what you can have. Any help would be great.

It would be a waste of money to spend any money on that system. Any "upgrade" would be incredibly marginal. And to get a "better" processor, you'd most likely have to buy used or find some place with old, surplus stock. You've got a Socket A motherboard from the looks of it, and that platform died about 3 years ago.

I don't think you'll really find much to fit that. It's an old Socket A board.

Dammit. I was afraid of that. Ok so from a gamers perspective Would a new kick ass AGP card be worth it? I have a nvidia 6200. Or should i just put that 500 bucks toward a new computer.

You're just throwing your money down the drain with a new agp card. Put it towards a new computer. You can get a very decent gaming rig for a grand. Read the forums at Tom's Hardware

Absolutely get a new computer. Everything you have is outdated.

Well, you could get a 1950 pro AGP, and it would serve you well until DX10 was mainstream.. but you'd bottleneck at the CPU bigtime. You need some new computer guts.

More and more mobos are NOT coming with AGP.

Save up some money, get a mobo with PCI-E and a PCI-E card.

I haven't seen a decent motherboard with AGP in a while.
