In a few weeks time I will be upgrading my Windows XP PC (to Windows 7), which I use to run BOINC programmes night & day, when I am not using my PC for more mundane tasks.

One of the things I will be doing is upgrading my Current Processors which are '2x Intel® Core™2 CPU 4300 @ 1.8GHz'.

Does anybody have any advice, which processors would give me optimum BOINC speed/results?

One other query - Is there a way to get notification of replies to my posts, as I can't seem to find any option to do this?
