So today I got an AMD Athlon 64 Processor(3800+ Socket939) and Trident Blade 3D (graphics card?) for free and I really want to put these parts into my computer.

My computer is a Dell Dimension 3000. Specs:

So you can see why I would like to put at least someting in it. I have no knowledge at all about computers so I don't even know if this AMD processor will help my computer if I do manage to get it in, as well as the Trident card....but im pretty sure that any part I come across is better than what is currently in my desktop.

My graphics card is integrated so does that mean that I have no actual slot where I can install a different card?

Is the processor compatible with my computer? I'm sure I could figure out how to install it if it is compatbile.

Any help and comments are appreciated.

your motherboard will not support the cpu, as you are trying to put amd into a intel board and your mother board does not have a agp slot so you can't plug in your graphics card sorry

Integrated graphics means your mobo comes with an internal graphics processor (not an actual card, which is the reason why it sucks). You can put another card in as long as you have a PCIe (or PCI if you're oldschool) slot. All mobos should have at least one.

i doubt he has a pci-e slot on a computer like that.

and the card is agp anyways.

OH NO
" Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz"

"I got an AMD Athlon 64 Processor(3800+ Socket939)"

Two different CPUs. You cannot swap one for the other.

Trident Blade 3D sounds crap to me - probably an old PCI or early AGP card - I strongly doubt it will be better than your onboard graphics.
Since you know nothing about computers, you will be better off leaving it alone. Even if those free parts you got worked, it wouldn't be an improvement.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
