System Upgrade Question

[jtm55]

Hi All,

I presently have a Pentium4 3.06 CPU with a 533 FSB. If I were to go to a AMD Athlon 4000+ CPU would I see a noticable performance boost?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Yes, you would, especially in tasks like gaming, scientific applications, Non-CS photoshop, much content creation, and most other things. Also, you'll have a system that's more expandable, and you can even drop in a Dual-Core Athlon 64 later this year with no motherboard upgrade, just a BIOS update.
