Can someone reccomend a good cheap processer (AMD only), that can keep up with my geforce 6800? I don't know how much my 2500+ is slowing down my card, but it feels like alot. I found an amd 3000+ for $147 on newegg, OEM. Will that be enough to satisfy my card and hl2? Also, will my heatsink for my amd 2500+ barton (came with it, stock heatsink) work on this?
guess I need a processer upgrade..

First of all you could overclock your 2500 (they are good overclockers) and if that is not good enough for you then a 3500+ Athlon 64 is a good place to start. Look around at benchmarks from Anandtech, Toms hardware and HardOCP to see how CPU limited your card is.

Personally if your looking for a quick fix like i was, just go for a athlon 64 3000+ for both boards there only about £100 and frankly its not top notch but leaves plenty of future space to upgrade (either to 3700+ which is bloody fast for the time being on the 754 board, or FF-55 ect on the 939 boards) Also lets face it reaslitically for gaming for the next 6 months maybe you really arnt going to push that 3000+ two much, and maybe it will be more adaquate when win 64 comes out and gives all the amd 64's a nice big speed boost.
