Might be an opportunity to upgrade the cpu to the max supported by the mobo, as well as fit a better aftermarket heatsink and fan.
Fair point.
This is what the ASUS website says about my motherboard and CPU
LGA775 socket for Intel® Core™2 Extreme/ Intel® Core™2 Duo/ Intel® Pentium D/ Intel® Pentium 4/ Intel® Celeron D
Compatible with Intel® 06/05B/05A processors
Support Intel®EM64T/Hyper-Threading Technology
*Only PCB R2.0(or later version) supports FSB 1066 MHz
*Due to chipset limitation, the Intel Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, C1E, and TM2 are not supported in this model)
Having a look online now for new CPU options. Dont really have a clue what im looking at. Seems like the maximum GHZ i can manage is 3.4Ghz or 3.6ghz!!!
have really good graphics card, sound card and 4GB DDR2 ram, 2x 150GB HDs, and 2 DVD re-writers, so not really worth while selling up, if i can make the CPU more efficient and improve the cooling.
Only use it for surfing the net, Autocad, Electrical design software and Microsoft office. Dont play games tbh
Edit--would this one work
