    Yeah i might not be getting a new computer so i decided to invest about $75 into a new processor for my computer i currently have:

    1GB RAM
    256MB ati 9550
    2.4GHz pentium 4

    I know it wont be a major performance increase (or will it) but i want to be able to convert video files a little bit faster. can anyone give me an estimate on how much faster files will convert. or is it proportional to 2.4GHz/3GHz (sorry I'm a noob).

    But my main question is how hard will this be doing on a premade hp pavillion. Is there any settings i will have to change in my bios? I did my own video card and ram upgrade and just trying to learn a little. The expert at anything was once a beginner.....
