Question

and i awnt to change only my Processor to core to duo latest how much wud it cost..

Answer 1

You might need more than just a new CPU depending on your current motherboard make/model. A Core 2 CPU is a Socket 775 package (the configuration of the pins on the CPU chip, which has to fit the CPU socket on the motherboard) so you need to figure out if your motherboard is a 775 or not. Run this program:

Look for the line "Package" and see if it says about your current CPU. If it is a 775 then you research your motherboard to see what CPUs it can accept: Run CPU-Z (link above) go to the "mainboard" tab in it's main window, and google your motherboard by it's Manufacturer and Model.

If your current motherboard is not a 775 then you will probably need a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM and possibly a new video card depending on what you pick for a motherboard.

Answer 2

that would depend if your motherboard supports it. witch i do not think it would. New motherboard $80 and new duo processor at 2.4ghx about $140

Answer 3

First, you need to know if your mobo can support one. As for a CPU itself, it can cost $100-$200.

Answer 4

if its an old computer made for p4 you will most likely need a new mother board hense new ram but can keep the graphic card if its PCI

Answer 5

1: Look up your motherboard to make sure it can handle a Core2Duo.  This might require you to crack the case and look for a model # on the system board or if this was a system you purchases from a dealer, look it up on the manufacturer's site.

#2: Check out NewEgg.com for the list of current Core2Duo processors and their prices.
