Pentium Dual CPU E2160 @ 1.80 GHz Processor Replacement Reccomendation
I am running Windows 7 Professional x86 (32bit) and i have a P5GC MX motherboard, my computer type is ATX, and i have a Pentium Dual CPU E2160 @ 1.80 GHz Processor. I very much enjoy video gaming and I don't have much trouble with the games I really love (old ones) but it's getting annoying to have my framerate drop exponentially whenever I go to play a newer game (Assassin's Creed, Skyrim, etc.) so I want to buy a new processor, but I can't buy a new computer, so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a processor I could buy that would be compatible with my motherboard? I can't buy a new motherboard either so I need one that's the same shape and size as my current processor so that I can just swap them out, I would like something in the range of 3.0 Ghz or higher, probably quad core, any ideas?
