Hello,
I have an emachine ET1161-07 and I want to upgrade the prosessoer to a 3.1 or better. Do I have to replace the motherboard as well? If so what type is compatible with my computer and what type of processor?
 
Your motherboard is here: http://www.skyline-eng.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=6470. It supports cpus up to 89 watts; I recommend any of the regor dual core am3 cpus, which may or may not run. For a safer alternative, try this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Athlon-64-6000-ADV6000IAA5DO-3-1GHz-AM2-CPU-AMD-Processor-ADV6000DOBOX-/220874118193?pt=CPUs&hash=item336d1f9431.
