Computernerd, there's no such thing as a CPU that won't "run" a graphics card; they're two completely independent pieces of hardware.

The main issue with that thing is the power supply. 250W just isn't much to work with.

That's also $65 after rebate, plus $7 shipping. Not to mention before he gets the rebate he has to pay $10 on top of that.

Probably a good choice. You can get a quad core for 100 bucks now as well if your having CPU problems (I think I saw someone mention a bottleneck earlier up there ). Thats what im getting when I upgrade (or build new) my PC. I cannot afford 2000 bucks of gaming rig so if you want a new processor, I recommend this one.

AnandTech: AMD Athlon II X4 620 & 630: The First $99 Quad Core CPU

seems to be okay. I mean, 4 cores for 100 bucks! Good deal

If you don't want to spend a lot on good parts the best thing to do is get them used. Look around on other forums sale sections and on eBay, you'll be amazed at some of the deals you can find.

Hell, i recently picked up a i7-860 and a Gigabyte P55-UD6 mobo used, and with the money i saved i could buy another i7....

There are plenty of quad-cores out there that are 775... You can get a Q6600 on eBay for $100 if you look around.

Because it's eMachines, I really can't tell you for certain if it support 45nm quads, but odds are it would with a BIOS update, if it doesn't already. How are you so sure it doesn't?
