CPU Upgrade

[Fried Gold]

I want to upgrade my CPU from this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Pentium-E6320-Core2-1-86GHz/dp/B000O7IIAS/ref=sr_1_8/202-6617829-8501463?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193391092&sr=8-8) to this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-3-0GHz-1333MHz-socket-Processor/dp/B000U5FX98/ref=sr_1_3/202-6617829-8501463?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193391092&sr=8-3).

Is this possible, or is it dependant on what motherboard I have and/or other technical stuff that no-one really cares about?

i suggest u look on newegg.com and make sure ur motherboard is compatible with ur new cpu.

but most likely i would say ur motherboard is compatible with ur new cpu.

Depends what your motherboard can take really, you need to do some research into it before you buy or else it might blow the processor (or worse everything!)

Another thing might be worth looking at is Motherboard and cpu bundles then you would know no compatibilty issues would arise
