E6320 can i upgraded?

[Crash1880]

Hey everyone new to the forums, and i just had a question. I have an Intel E6320 processor and I am just wondering if its possible to upgraded to the E7500 processor. If you need me to post any more information just let me know. Thanks

If you wanna upgrade your CPU
Upgrade to a Quad Core one
Going from E6320 to E7500 is wastage of money

What would be a cheap, good quad core that i could upgrade to?

 

[mfarrukh]

What is your budget and what is your CPUs current clock speed?

 

[Crash1880]

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6320 @ 1.86GHz. My budget is around $150 - $250.

Also thanks for the help

Yes Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad shares same Motherboard Socket
i.e. LGA 775

Hey 1 last question i was looking at the specs and the PCG for the e6320 is 06 and the design power is 65w and for the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 the PCG is 05a and the power is 95 w. Does that matter that it is different?

 

[mfarrukh]

Not really.
What you get by upgrading to it is a higher clock speed and two more cores
Offcourse it'll use a little more power than the Core 2 Duo

Ohh ok i just want to make sure that it will run fine. Thanks again
