What kinda PS does it have? The link you gave doesn't have any specs to know what PS and motherboard you have?? That you will have to open the computer and tell us?? Look at your owners manual that came with your computer or check with the manufacture site and they should be able to find what CPU from your serial or service tag what CPU can fit in it. Again you provide general information that doesn't go into enough detail to know what is there.

Your new processor you want to get has AM3 socket. Athol 64 x2 use AM2 socket, so I think you are out of luck with this one.

hulkhogan

Im bout to check my manuel for my motherboard.hold on.

Whappo

If you don't find the information in the manual you can use http://www.hwinfo.com/index.html or http://www.gtopala.com/

My motherboard is a asus motherboard that has >AM2<!!!!!!.so guess I cant use this processor.Please tell me theres another quad core CPU.Please list a quad core CPU under 160$ that is at least 3.0GHz.

Yo-

That is something you should do for yourself - since it's your money and computer - suggest looking at www.newegg.com and www.amazon.com for potentially best deals-eh

*be careful to choose a processor that your bios supports*

Would This CPU work and if so what watt power supply do I need? Click.

Check to see if your motherboard will accept AM2+ processors. If it can do so with a bios update, there is one cpu at Newegg that meets your needs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103644

You'd need a heatsink also, since that is a bare cpu.

Edit: Looks like you found it before me.

Suggestion: call Systemax customer service techies and ask them what processors work in this particular computer - and required power supply.

They made it and they should be the best referrence for you-eh

Im sure my motherboard can use AM2+ because I googled it and it said AM2+,s can fit in a AM2 socket.By the way please recommend a heat sink under 40$ dollars.

CDuncle

Read this about AMD sockets:

Socket 754 and Socket 939 motherboards run AMD's Athlon 64 and Sempron desktop processors, both of which have been discontinued. AMD has migrated all of its desktop processors to the Socket AM2 and Socket AM2+ platforms. AMD's Socket AM3 triple-core and quad-core Phenom II processors and the motherboards that run them were made available in February 2009.

Socket AM2 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM2

I believe that quad core is out of your mobo specs.

Here,s my PC (Click) .I want to put this CPU in it, will it work? (Click) .I also need someone to recommend a good heat sink under 40$.Also if this CPU will work what watt power supply will I need?My PC has a AM2 Socket.Thank You.

hulkhogan

Anyone?

Kerry56

I've moved your second thread into this first one hulkhogan. There is no need to make multiple threads on the same subject.

Edit: And before I would speculate on whether an AM2+ cpu would work in your computer, I'd have to know the exact model Asus motherboard you have.

Just lookin' at the specs you provided, you probably would make out better by getting a good video card. The integrated card is hogging CPU resources, and the one on that board (according to what was listed, only 256 Mg. isn't so good). I think you would find a great improvement over all. You would probably need a new power supply, if you are less than 500 watts.

I think a new processor would not make that much difference, based on the board specs, and if you change the processor, you will have to pay for your OS (VISTA) again, as a processor change makes Micro$oft consider it a new machine. You might be able to con your way out of it. Call late at night, when you get an Indian (from India) tech. They are usually really cool about these kind of things. Just tell them that it is the same computer you have had all along. It has worked for me, when a MoBo failed and I could not get the same one again. The Video card (get one with 1G memory) is where I would start, cheaper way to go, you won't have to worry about your Vista certification. Start saving for a new computer after that. I really prefer ATI.

Flippin' eck! I must be the only person on this forum to still use an 478 Celeron

Although that died out a few weeks ago, now using an AMD Dual Core

Anyway, how about maxing out a dual core processor?

Mr. Belvedere

I used a Pentium 2 as a NAS. Since this year i've "upgraded" to a Pentium 3.
