Getting hands on a 939 socket procy now a days is almost impossible. Even of you get one I dont think it will be any better than 3200+. So if you really want to upgrade you will probably have to change the ram and the mobo too..

Use CPU-Z

@stalin
dat mobo is of no use, coz todays AMD pcoccy are AM2 socket.
And even X2 6000+ costs only 8k-
Look for any second hand X2 939 socket. They are da best u can get for dat mobo.

I would agree with that, i tried to buy a 939 proc a few months back, most stores didn't have any and the ones who did, had only 3000 and 3200, so I went for am2 , if you want to buy a 939 then your best chance is to search a lot of stores and hope that you'll get lucky.
