I have an Advent T9508 PC with a Foxconn 45CM motherboard. The processor that the computer came with when we purchased it many years ago was a Core 2 Duo @ 2.2 GHz. I found a Core 2 Duo 3 GHz E8400 processor for just £15 on Amazon, a bargain. I was wandering if
a) The processor will be compatible (same number of pins/correct socket type)
b) If the current heatsink would work fine with the new processor, or if I would have to use a new aftermarket heatsink?
c) The processor is a 64 bit, whereas the old processor is 32 bit (including a 32 bit windows) will it still work correctly?
Thank you for your time.
