You are looking to buy an Intel Chip is it?? I think There is a big price difference btw Pentium D and Core 2 Duo's.... So check out newegg.com to get a rough idea about the prices they may vary here in SL but not by big margin

No prob

Bt one mo question......
I cant go for a Core 2 processor... Coz itz too expensive for my budget....
So i think itz betr to go for a Dual Core...
But Do u knw the maximum speed of it... I mean are there dual core processors higher than 3Ghz?

I have a Intel Pentium D 820 processor which runs at 2.8 GHz... it's from the first set of dual core processors released by Intel.. this series has processors upto 3.6 GHz.... But I am not sure whether they available in Sri Lanka.... You better ask Anusha Aiya about the prices in and the availability of those in SL

I dnt need to buy a RAM and VGA..
I already have them... 512 of RAM and 128 PCI-E VGA....
So I can spend all of 25,000 to Motherboard and the Processor...

U can't just replace only the motherboard and the processor.u'll probably have to replace RAMs and VGA and PSU also.
Give more of ur old machine specs

Don't waste ur money with HT procs (I mean now).Go for at least a dual core
But since u r on low-budget u can buy Intel pentium 631 (HT) for about 8~9K

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I have already bought 512 of DDR2 Ram n 128 of PCI Express VGA Card...
So now I have to buy only the Motherboard and the Processor..

If he's only planning to buy the MOBO and the Chip he can go for a Pentium D... I got my Pentium D 820 @ 2.8GHz + Intel 945GCCR Mobo for 22,000

What's ur motherboard's Front Side Bus Speed?? FSB? maybe u wont need a new mobo since it has DDR2 And PCI-Ex
