Hello,
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
I currently have an old emachine T3642 and would like some guidance in regards to upgrading the CPU (if it's even possible).
I have upgrade the RAM from 1gig to 2gigs - however the CPU seems to clock at 100% more frequently than I would care for.
The machine is being used in an office environment and not used for games or graphics.
The current CPU is:
AMD Athlon 64 processor 4000+ 2.6 GHz
System Type 32-bit
OS: Vista
I have researched a bit and have found that the CPU socket on this motherboard supports AMD AM2-type processors with a 2000 MT/S system bus... however, I'm not a tech and not 100% confidant in purchasing a CPU without a 2nd opinion.
SO - can anyone provide some guidance on:
1. Can I upgrade this CPU
2. (if yes) What CPU should I get?
Thank you again.
