Go on the motherboard manufactures website, find your motherboard and it will tell you what processors it's capable of using.

I have no idea, that is the only serial / or number i can get off the board.

I was hoping one of you very clever guys could help me out.

Cheers

If this is your board it can take quads http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5KPLAM/#CPUS
Based on current price on new LGA775 CPU's it is hardly worthwhile (cost more than newer faster CPU's)unless you get a cheap used one from a source like ebay.

Cheers mate,

I will take it to the shop on thursday and take your advise and update the board and CPU. prob worth while for a couple hundred more dollors.
