Hello all,
Newbie here. But always hanged around the site. Im sure some of the computer gurus can help.
Has anyone swap a Dell™ Dimension™ C521AMD Sempron AM2 CPU to AMD Athlon LE-1640 2.7GHz Socket AM2 512Kb Cache?
Is this swap possible? Are both compatible at all? We have this old Dell C521 and want to do diy the swap. We just want to run it a little faster and they sell these cheap at the moment. What do I need to do swapping CPU? How hard it is doing this? I done some minor upgrades like memory and dedicated gpu but not a cpu swap. Is it worth the trouble becasue I dont want to mess up my gf only working pc. Any help appreciated.
I posted this on another forum to get a wider response. I hope this is alright.
Cheers
