I'm looking to upgrade my computer's processor to something that runs at least 3 GHz. Here are my computer specs in more detail:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33 GHz
Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
System type: 32 bit
Edition: Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
Will I be able to simply replace my current processor with another core 2 duo (such as the E8400)? Or will I have to replace my motherboard, RAM, etc?
Also, is there any chance I could get my processor to overclock? This is a Dell PC, not custom or anything.
If it isn't already apparent, I'm not a very tech savvy guy, so I'm hoping someone will bear with me.
