Info on Upgrading CPU:

[MM7600]

Hello All, I have an HP a1240n pc from 2005 I'd like to upgrade. The motherboard is an ASUS PTGD-LA. The chipset is Intel 915GV. Anyone know how far I can push this old off-the-shelf dog? I'd like to get the best cpu and maybe do a better chipset if possible.. Thanks, Morgan

That mobo is a socket LGA775 and will support up to a 3.4GHz Intel Pentium 4 HT processor. So not a big choice in CPUs.

You're probably better off just building a new dog.

Thanks guys. Actually, I already built my new rig but this little beast kept the home going while the big dog was on the bench so I wanted to give it something in return. It's been a good little doggy!
