Hi, i have an asus a8v-e deluxe motherboard and i would like to upgrade its cpu. I currently have amd athlon 64 3000+, what kind of cpu can i buy to upgrade it?

Any AMD CPU labelled "Socket 939", S939, 939, etc.

But that socket type is fairly outdated so you'll be hard pressed to find a 939 CPU these days. I have that same chip in my PC right now.

so i just get any cpu with socket 939 and replace it with my old one?

just get a new computer

yeah I, too, was thinking of upgrading my CPU a couple months ago, but couldn't find any reasonably priced Athlon X2's in S939 so I just said fuck it. Instead, I'm gonna save up over the summer and build an HTPC soon.

yea, that socket is pretty ancient... new computer!

was in same boat. nothing available new for s939 is worth its price now

Can i still use a dualcore chip thats socket 939?

The most popular dual core Socket 939 is the 3800+. It sells used for about $60 and is hard to find. A lot if people decide it too much to pay and choose to build a new computer that's twice or three times faster than the 3800+. You can decide which path you want to take.
