Adding processors..

[thehobbit41]

Can I add 2 processors to my ASUS P5ND2 SLI Motherboard ? If so, which processors should I buy?

Add processors? No. It only has 1 CPU socket.

You can upgrade though, heres a list of supported processors:

Will any of these upgrades run the new game to be released on the 9th Nov. Call of Duty Black Ops ?

If that isn't the case, than I guess it's time for new mother board with dual processors...

Do you mean dual core processor? That's a bit different than adding another processor.

There are motherboards that support dual, quad, and hexacore CPUs.

These are the minimum system requirements to play that game.
* OS: Windows® Vista / XP / 7
* Processor:Intel® Core™2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom™ X3 8750 or better
* Memory: 2GB
* HDD:12GB
* Video: Shader 3.0 or better 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600GT / ATI Radeon® X1950Pro or better
* Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible
* DirectX: 9.0c


Your current hardware won't support the game. You would need to change the motherboard and CPU, at minimum, to play that game.

And, will I have to buy a new tower once I buy a new mother board?
Sorry people, i have been gaming for 10 yrs and haven't taken the time to learn much about pc hardware....

 

[thehobbit41]

Depending on the case that you have right now, you may be able to still use it.

Thanks for the vote.
