THIS

If it's socket am2, it should work fine. I would download cpu-z and check the motherboard specs. If you can get a model number, you might find it on the manufacturer's website. The cpu may post as "unknown" but should run fine at full speed. But don't get the black edition, which has an unlocked multiplier. It might have problems with an oem board with few bios adjustments.

So far, it appears that your T6216 has a socket 939 CPU. You linked to an AM2 CPU. will not work.
Now, as far as the NForce 410 chipset and it's support for higher spec CPU's (dual core 939 chips), I am unsure.
I'll do a bit more searching, but at the very least (if your mobo supports it at all) you'll need a bios upgrade for your system to recognize a 939 X2 CPU.

I had a live chat with emachines tech support. Not a good outlook. Read transcript below:

Thank you for contacting Upgrade Sales. My name and badge number are Luke_GWPS052. What upgrades were you thinking about today?

Anthony says:
Good Morning

Anthony says:
I have a T6216 and would like to upgrade to a socket 939 Athlon X2 dual core CPU.

Anthony says:
Is this possible on my motherboard?

Luke_GWPS052 says:
How about upgrading your system Memory/RAM? this upgrade will improve the entire system performance Anthony

Anthony says:
Of course. That is on my mind as well. I know that would make a difference as well.

Luke_GWPS052 says:
Your system is already using the maximum processor it can handle Anthony. Upgrading higher than the one installed is too risky. Shall we look for a memory upgrade?

Anthony says:
Hmmm. I'll have to get back to you on that. Thank you so much for your quick response and help.
--------------------------------------------------

So there you have it. Sorry bud.
Note that he was really trying to push that memory! LOL

ahah alright thanks alot. i have 2 gb of ram now but i dont know thanks for your time.

Newegg has the san diego 4000 for around $40 plus shipping, last time I checked. It should work fine on your board, but it's only a single core. It runs at 2.4 gigahertz.

It looks to me like time to upgrade the whole box......

If MSI MS-7093 looks like your motherboard I would suggest buying a new PCIe video card if you are the gaming type***

You may then move the video card to your new computer

*** Please be advised that a new power supply unit for around $40 is highly recommended which may also be moved to your new machine.

 

[srh]

yeah i already bought a video card and bought a 500w psu
i was just checking if i could do anything else instead of getting a new computer

 

[srh]

and can i put ddr2 in my t6216 instead of just ddr

 

[Rhonda the Sly]

No.

 

[srh]

ok thanks for all your help guys
