| 656374 | 2008-04-06 08:31:00 | If the computer your talking about is the Compaq in your signature its an AM2 socket board, here (h10025.www1.hp.com) are the specs of the motherboard. If that is the case you should be able to upgrade to any AM2 CPU short of the new Quad Core Phenom. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 656375 | 2008-04-06 13:46:00 | go nuts (www.pricespy.co.nz) i've got an AM2 socket athlon 64 3800+ sitting on my shelf disused, might chuck it up on trademe if you're interested but i doubt it would be much of an upgrade |

| 656377 | 2008-04-19 06:01:00 | All sorted now, Have a 4.4ghz (2.2 dual core) CPU, thanks guys NO, a dual core is NOT double the speed, it is still 2.2GHz, a dual core is just able to do double the work (2 cores), NOT double the processor speed. | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 656378 | 2008-04-19 07:01:00 | note it will only do double the work in certain situations where code allows for it also;) in practice it's still faster than a 2.6GHz single core so don't complain |

| 656379 | 2008-04-19 07:11:00 | note it will only do double the work in certain situations where code allows for it also;) Well yes, provided the code is multithreaded... Though Windows will use both cores, not just one up to the point that is maxed out and then go to the next core, it will spread the load. | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
