CPU Upgrade Help?

[john5527]

Is it possible to upgrade my cpu to this processor, and would it be worth it. I have an 2.4ghz dual core now. Can I do any better at all? Thanks

Still haven't upgraded?

The HP site shows that the max supported is an E6700. However, It is not worth upgrading at this point if it is going to cost you over $100. I would save your money for a new system.

LOL. Yeah I went from the 1.8ghz to 2.4ghz dual core, which really seemed to make a nice jump for me in some games. I haven't rebuilt my pc though since then as I stopped playing games for awhile. Now I am back into gaming and really notice the lag. I was hoping to make a small bump for a year or so since money is tight right now. but if I wouldn't see any diff. I won't do it. thanks though.

Upgrading you will see a difference. However, that money is better spent on a new system, as you can get vastly more powerful systems for just a bit more money, especially if you have a Microcenter nearby.
