Hello,
I want to upgrade my 6 yr old CPU without changing the MB. I want to change just the processor and ram if needed. I have a amd athlon 64 ii x4 635 on the ASRock K10N78 Mother Board,4GB of DDR2 RAM. I want to replace the quad core with an 8 core processor and upgrade my RAM if you recommend. I am not that CPU savvy but I do know how to replace all the parts. I just do not know what parts to get. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction on what processor and ram I should purchase. I just want to be able to surf the net very fast, have up to 7-8 programs open at one time. Some video and picture editing. I do not care about the graphics. I just want speed. I am will to spend around $300 on the RAM and processor. Thank you for any help
