Solve : Dell Dimension C521 Processor upgrade?

Answer»

So I have this computer which is Dell Dimension C521, yes the slim one. And I currently have single core, and untill recently I found out I could have a dual core processor, well since it's a pretty old computer the processors should be pretty cheap, but then majority of processors that are AMD Athlon 64 x2, well they are very hard to find because they are no long distributed.

So I need help on at least telling me what name should I be looking at or a link if possible to the processor.
Here is one of the processors I found
http://www.acmemicro.com/estore/merchant.ihtml?pid=3748&lastcatid=357&step=4
I wonder if it will work.
If it does, then does ANYONE know of any better ones?

and also here are some pictures of my stuff.
Thanks in advance.

[SAVING space, attachment deleted by admin]I'd check with Dell 1st but it looks like from the info you have provided that board should take any AM2 AMD CPU...can't ask them, their forum isn't working.
I've asked similar question on the other forum where they help with the computers too but they said that
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103210
won't work, well they said that it might and might not work.
And this one won't either

all because it's Brisbane meaning it has different VOLTAGES and stuff, so I'm a bit confused. :STheir Forum is working...what link did you clik ?yea I found out that it's working now... apparently Dell hates Firefox lol, I was unable to get in with Firefox but able to get in with Internet Explorer.All your answers will be there...Yea they said all of the processors I showed should work, and well... I hope so, kuz I just ordered that newegg processor the 5200+What does kuz mean ? ?kuz means because.
Never heard of slang lol?Nope.Well now you know.
