Okay so I was recently thinking about upgrading my CPU (Processor) but I don't know which processor I should get and what my PC can handle. I took the Belarc Advisor test because I wanted to know what type of motherboard I have, which I need help with because I still don't know here is my results

System Model
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600) Dell Inc. Vostro 200
System Service Tag: 2J2TRF1 (support for this PC)
Chassis Serial Number: 2J2TRF1
Enclosure Type: Desktop

Main Circuit Board
1.80 gigahertz Intel Pentium Dual
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache Board: Dell Inc. 0CU409
Serial Number: ..CN7360481L07LD.
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Dell Inc. 1.0.11 01/31/2008

I at least want a 2.0 Ghz Intel of something so my pc can run faster, please help what should I do?
 
You have an E2160 CPU. Do you have the slim or mini-tower version of the Vostro 200?

What exactly are you looking for a performance increase in? Games? Video editing? etc.
 
That one, and I'm looking to increase in my computer speed basically. Some ppl are saying that 1.79 Ghz is low and I don't want to be low plus THe Sims 3 requires at least 2.0 Ghz, so I don't know what that mean
The Minimum specs for Sims 3 is 2Ghz Pentium 4 CPU. A 1.8Ghz Pentium Dual Core E2160 (which you have) outperforms a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4. So for Sims 3, you're just fine CPU wise.
 
OMG really? YES!, I'm so happy now, I thought I needed a whole new CPU and everything I feel like dancing yay! Thanks Danny
