Upgrading CPU - Help please!
Hi there,
ATM I have a very old and out-dated proccessor. It is a AMD Athlon 3800+ single core. I have been thinking on upgrading but no too sure what to get.
My mobo specs are here: Motherboard Specifications, M2N68-LA (Narra) Compaq Presario SR5019UK Desktop PC - HP technical support (Germany - English)
It says upto a 5600 dual core, but in brackets it had 89w twp. So... Could I get a 6000+ that only requires 89w?
More nooby questions! ;D
Not sure about updating BIOS, as the website says nothing about it supporting W7, and the changelog says nothing about supporting newer CPU's.
One more
Can someone reccommend me a CPU cooler for less than Ł30 or $50? I won't be doing too much overclocking, but my stock coooler is crap.
