Greetings Everyone!
So i just found out the i7 runs for about 300 bucks now!
Opposed to the 1.2k price when i was building my computer a year ago.
So i'm looking to upgrade to my i5 to the i7
I've had the program "CPU-Z" on my computer for awhile now but i'm not to adept at reading it.
My processor is Intel Core i5 650
Which uses a 1156 LGA Socket.
Does anyone know the socket type on a i7, would i have to change my motherboard as well?
Other Questions
in dxdiag it says my processor has 4 CPU's, are CPU's cores?
CPU-Z says i have 2 cores.
Also my clock speed is 3.20GHz
but an i7 with a 2.80GHz Clock speed is far superior?
Is that because of the Cores or the Mb Cache?
Last Anyone know a good site for cheap computer parts?
Besides tiger direct cause that's where i currently browse.
