After asking around a bit, I've found that, on a system that runs Windows XP (32 bit edition, so can't use more than 2 gigs ram) the best way for me to improve my system performance when editing videos is to upgrade the processor. Unfortunately, it seems that there is no information out there about what kinds of processors would actually work with my current motherboard. I know that the socket number is important, but I know that there are other factors to take into account as well.
My computer model is a Dell XPS 600 / DXG051.
Current processor specs:
-Intel Pentium D 830 (3 GHz)
-Socket 775 LGA
Current motherboard specs:
-Model 0XH241
-nVidia nForce4 SLI Intel Edition chipset
-Bios version A11 (9/27/2006)
Now, my question is this: What faster/more powerful processors would be compatible with my machine?
