I rather think that jackvdbuk is being a little sarcastic in his response...

Also, what upgrading do you think he might want to do that couldn't be achieved with a Dell box?

I presume he's refering to overlcocking, with a dell you're pretty stuck, unless you gor for that h20 jobby wwith ceramic/water pre-overclocking!

Hello there. I think that there are lots of possible ways to answer your question (the most direct one being to point you to an online shop and you look for yourself), so if you could re-phrase your question it would be useful. Also, if you post in the hardware section of the forum rather than the welcome section you might get a better response.

Edit: Never mind, i see you already have. Welcome then!

The E6850 Is the fastest of the core2 duo range at the minute, with a 3Ghz clock, and sells for around the £170 Mark.

You could also have a look at the new extreme x6800, which unfortunately retail at just over £600, and runs at 2.93Ghz.

Indeed, however i suggest that for the price of an E6850 you could get Intel Quad Q6600 which has more power and is arguably more versatile, its your choice though (im a Q6600 fanboy lol).

E8500 is fastest @ 3.16GHz
