Unless you're ready to shell 100$+ for a 939 X2 then you can't really upgrade.

It really isn't going to be worth it to get another 939 processor. I would suggest something like this.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186143

and

You get better built in video than what you got and a far better processor. It will end up running probably close to $125 with shipping for that. But you probably need memory too, I assume you don't do a ton of stressful things or you would have upgraded by now. So something like this would get you by on ram.

After tacking that on, prob be like $150ish and will be leaps and bounds ahead of what you got.

**EDIT** Nvm I see your in Canada, not so sure then

or you can easily get cheap memory from one of the members as well as a cheap mobo or cpu
