Compatible CPUs for ASUS P5AD2-E Premium

[shamus8888]

Hi all!

My wife's PC recently had some malware so I helped to get rid of it. In the process I noticed how slow her PC was. So I decided to get her a CPU upgrade and also a RAM upgrade. Her mobo is Asus P5AD2-E Premium.

But, I am not sure which is the best compatible CPU for this board. I have done some googling and it says that:

CPU

- LGA775 socket for Intel Pentium 4/Celeron CPU

- Compatible with Intel 04B and 04A processors

- Intel Hyper-Threading Technology ready

My wife now have the 90nm 3.4Ghz processor. (and yet it is VERY slow especially when multitasking)

What processor would you advice me to go for? Would this be a good / compatible upgrade?

also considering changing her ram to this.

Any advice if those is compatible and also the best choice available at the moment? I am clueless when it comes to P4...seems so ancient to me

Thanks a lot!

edit: Her RAM is PC2-4300(266Mhz) x3

IIRC it supports all up to and including core duo but none of the core2duo; I ran a D930 in one.

Hmmm ok. My mate's been saying just get a cheap mobo + Core2Duo but wouldn't that cost me over £150?

Plus, Windows is going to nag me about activation... tsk tsk...

Googled to death and can't find a proper link to compatible CPUs so far.
