I am working on stuff in 3dsmax, but my renderings are slow and ineffeicent because of an old processor I have. Currently i have a Intel Core 2 Duo E6750. I am looking for something to upgrade to so that i can have faster renders (not for gaming). What would be the best thing to upgrade to if i was willing to spend around $100 and probably up to $200 max. Also how hard is it to swtich out a CPU? Can you just take the old one out and put the new one in?
For the rest of my computer, i have windows 7 with 16GB of RAM and and a 660TTI its just the processor thats killing my render times and I would really like to find something to replace it with. I don't have the money to buy a competely new computer unless it would be cheaper to do so and just put the graphics card into the new rig.
That might be what i have to do because the motherboard is a old Dell XPS720 Motherboard form 2007 that only supports DDR2 RAM.
