I have never upgraded a processor, but I am interested in doing so with the Pentium D930 in my Sony vgc-rc210g . If this is possible, what is involved, which processors would I be looking at, and what kind of performance increase would I get?

Thanks in advance!!

Best_reviews, I have no idea where you got your information but you should double check your sources.

Anyways, chances are you can toss an E6x00 series in to your computer. Unless your doing some intense processing work you won't notice a giant difference. If your mobo supports it I'd get a Q6600.

just diregard whatever the moron above me wrote (best reviewss)

i think that you would be better off upgrading both the cpu and the mobo. as far as which processor? what will you use it for? gaming? multi tasking?

Don't lisen to Best_reviews, he's full of **** and so is anyone else that breaks the product name down and adds it up!

But anyway, I doubt you'll be able to upgrade your processor because your motherboard probably won't support it.

you have to check to see if the cpu is supported on the sony mobo.

you are a moron Chirstopher

I'm mainly interested in it for multitasking (and multimedia editing) but I also want a benefit in newer games. I want a CPU to compliment the 8800 GS I just ordered.

How would i know which CPUs are supported?

How do I find this out about my mobo? All I can find on the list of specs that the PC came with is 800MHz FSB speed and Intel 945P chipset.

i would just love to see you in real life and pound your **** face in. oh yes i would

Any recommendations? Also just so I have an idea, will it be much more difficult to remove the current CPU/heatsink and install the new one than something like adding RAM?

download cpu-z. it will show you the model of your mobo

ur an annoying sonofa bitch. you go all over the forum adding freaking numbers. what is wrong with you? i take the forum seriously, as do all the people coming here for help. and here you are, posting some stupid-ass ****, creating useless threads and wasting people's time.

Maybe if y'all could stop your bickering I could get some advice on what to buy....

enough of you anygry lizard at home and your power indexing. please visit another forum where people go to waste their lives talking about ****.

i do apologize, no more responces from me on this thread

Last try: any recommendations for a reasonably priced (~$100 or less) Core2Duo, i945P compatible CPU????
