Hey guys, have recently been mulling over upgrading my old Pentium 4 HT 530 (3.0GHZ, Stock). I have been researching a bit and have come across this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002973RW0/sr=1-6/qid=1384838111/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1384838111&seller=&sr=1-6
It's an intel Core2Quad Q8200 ~2.33Ghz Quad-Core CPU
I am considering getting it used as it is $40 and i'm not so fazed about new factory stock.
I was wondering if you guys could help me deduce whether the CPU would work well on my system:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L (Revision 1.1) http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2889&dl=1#ov
OS: Windows XP Home Premium 32 Bit
CPU: Pentium 4 HT 530 ~3.0GHz (Stock)
Ram: 1GB DDR2 800MHz (Will have 3GB At single Channel)
GFx Card: NVidia 9500GT 512mb (DDR2 Edition)
Storage: 1x 160GB Sata2 HDD
1x 80GB Sata2 HDD
Optical Drives: 1x CD-R/RW + DVD-R/RW Optical Drive
PSU: 450 Watts (am quite sure it is generic, will post pictures if necessary)
Peripherals: 1x Wireless Adaptor 300mbps (USB)
1x USB Lexmark Printer (Occasionally)
These are my specs and can be expanded if necessary, thank you for your time guys and will be waiting intently
