need compatible quad core processor for eMachines ET11331G

songster53 · Jan 31, 2014

Have eMachines ET1331G
It has an Athlon II x 2 250u 1.6 ghz now
Motherboard is eMachines MCP61PM-GM
Bios: AMI version PO1-A2
I need a quad core cpu at least 2.6 ghz compatible

Any suggestions?

best bet is to build a new pc i have the same pc and that is what i had to do.

Stan Harris :

Hey Stan, If I did that I'd have to buy a new OS too. It's OEM.
Also I'm wondering if a new processor will affect any other software licences, such as my recording software, etc
.......really expensive stuff if I had to buy new licenses. Cheers!

Stan Harris · Jan 31, 2014

Just transfer the hdd into the new build and keep using it. No new os and keep all of your software. And a new cpu won't affect the license.

If the case's front panel connectors are not proprietary, you can just get a motherboard, ram and CPU and reuse current case. Some E-machines cases are like that.

Stan Harris :

Thanks! That's all good news! I'll consider that if I can't find the right processor at a reasonable price.
Far as I know there's nothing proprietary in the case.
I don't really think the motherboard is a big problem and there's lots of ram plus a new soundblaster card, new video card and plenty of room left on the HD. I also have my last computer HD in there as a slave drive.

Question: Is the IP address attached to the hard drive, the motherboard, the cpu, or what? I presume that how legit software is recognized. Stan or anybody? Thanks

If the front panel connector is just one big block, it is proprietary. If it is individual connectors for each, you can probably reuse the case.

Looks like individual plugs attaching the front card readersand front inputs. Cheers!

No the ip is not on the hdd it is from your router

Install cpuz, you can see your motherboard manufacturer and model under the "mainboard" tab.

Post them, and people can help you find the best CPU you can upgrade to.

Some other poster upgraded to that with your same mobo.

One poster even says he got a AMD Phenom II x4 925 2.8ghz to work.

Great! Thanks! That really helps! I'll start looking for one of those. I might try to upgrade my power supply at the same time.Mine maxes out at 240w and I already have an extra hrd dr, 2 pci cards and a usb audio interface running off it. Good idea do you think? One poster recommends an ANTEC 450 Cheers!

I would go with a 500w EVGA bronze rated at minimum for a gaming rig.
