If you're looking for a meaningful upgrade, you'll need to replace the motherboard. For instance, a G31 board and an E5200 would be around $100. | |

More info on the board would help us determine what you can and cannot put into the machine. | |

| I think (sorry not digging out cd with pdf manual) the ones we have with that processor only went up to a 3.2 P4 or something, so nothing worthwhile. Your manual link seems to say the same upto P4 3.4 
Hmm, hitting the driver link shows a BIOS that says updated to support newer processors but doesn't say which. Possible it will take a Pentium duo of some sort. Generally haven't had much luck lately updating a CPU, the change just is not enough to justify the cost and hassle (and a bios upgrade in this case) | |
