Upgrade my model 400-034 processor to 3ghz (at least) and 6 core.

If I order one on line what do I need to look for i.e. socket type etc.

@Paul45701 , welcome to the forum.

Here is the Product Specifications page for the computer:  https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-slimline-400-000-desktop-pc-series/5358996/model/53...

If you look at the section "Processor/Processor upgrade information" you will find a list of compatible processors.  If the processor is not on the list it will most likely not work.  As you will see, there are no 6-core processors on the list.

Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.

I previously found the chart but did not understand what it is trying to tell me. Since I could not get a straight answer to that maybe this. I am looking for a dedicated graphics card of 4gb vram and supports direct x 11 or above that will fit my computer.
