your computer doesn't use an LGA775 since it is an AMD E1-1500. LGA775 is an obsolete socket used exclusively for intel cpus. Your cpu uses socket BGA413. As for upgrades you can upgrade the ram. but for the cpu you may be stuck. the only upgrade path could be the e2-2000 cpu. but it still a moot point because its only slightly faster than your current one. The E series of amd cpu are really basic cpus meant for mobile and energy savings. In fact i wouldn't be surprised if your current cpu was soldered on to the motherboard.

Yes I understand no GPU.. and I also understand all-in-ones suck but I got it as a present not much I can do ya know?

So processor I can't really upgrade?
As for RAM I will upgrade to 2x 4gb Corsair sticks but would that even be necessary?

Appreciate the help! I want to be able to stream in 720p or 480 at least.

You can upgrade the processor, but only to something that will fit the LGA775 socket.

Oh guys he can also upgrade the hard drive to ssd. Really upgrading to 8gb of ram and take out ur stock hard drive and installing SSD it will make it a lot quicker. Old stock drive you can convert it to external drive. You might have that computer booting 10-15 second instead a minute. Programs will will fassster.
