I have an old AMD Sempron processor 3200+ and i bought this computer as a whole package about 1-2 years ago, i was wondering if i could buy a better AMD processor like an Phenom and replace my Sempron processor. What i want to know is if it would work on this computer, i do not know what kind of motherboard i have but i know it supports AMD processors and i have a PCI express graphics card. If anyone could give me any extra information about finding how to find what kind of motherboard i have would be useful aswell.

That is a socket 939 motherboard. It will not support the new Phenom processors as they are socket AM2+. The fastest CPU still available at Newegg that will work on your motherboard is the AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego 2.4GHz.

An AM2/AM2+ board is really not going to cost you as much as you think. Look: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138106
This board could handle any of the 95W Phenoms.
