Even so, there is an upper limit to the speed / capacity the board will support.

heineken, here's the scoop.

Your computer has been discontinued four years ago and is out of warranty(obviously), so it took a little while to sweet talk the lady into giving out information.

That configuration shipped with the highest end processor that it would handle.  You could take your chances and try an upgrade anyway, but I don't recommend wasting your money on a processor alone.

<edit> That's why the upgrade manual that I found for it does not discuss the upgrade of the processor. </edit>

<2edit> If you can afford it I would recommend replacing the PC. </2edit>

    Thanks Quantos and others.

    You are right,
    I think I'm gonna buy a new pc, simply because it doesn't make sense spending almost the same money on just one processor, which may even not work in the end of it.

    Thanks a lot for your help!
