I upgraded mine with an Athlon 64 x2 5600+ 2.9 , that is about the best Brisbane AM2 cpu you can get within the same power requirements ( 65w) , there is a 6000+ 3.1 but it goes up to 89w and you only have a 250w psu
I also installed an EVGA Nvidia 440 gt 1gb ddr3 , can play games prefectly now on medium settings ( Call of Duty MW3 and Dirt3 )
