Hello. Would anyone be able to help me? I need help upgrading my processor,
picking out the correct part, and what would be the fastest/best replacement option.
I have the information from CPUID (CPU-Z) I have an Acer Aspire M3470 desktop
with an AMD A8 3820 2.5Ghz processor Socket FM1 (905)
Is it possible to upgrade to a faster processor? If so, what are some options?
Thanks for your help.
Would this be the only alternative for an upgrade?
AMD A8-Series A8-3870K 3 GHz Quad-Core CPU Processor AD3870WNZ43GX Socket FM1

If it is an AMD processor, is it possible to switch to an Intel? (i7) or would I have to buy a new motherboard? Thanks again for your help.
