what happens if i change my cpu?

Question

will my computer work faster if i put 3.2gb chipin my chip at the moment is 2.4gb

Answer 1

Yes, provided that you are putting in the correct socket size and type for your motherboard.

Example: You can't stick a newer 775 pin (LGA) Core 2 Duo in a board that only supports 478 pin P4's.

Answer 2

Are you trying to change processor type -- from a celeron or sempron to a Pentium or Athnlon?
And for what purpose are you upgrading -- as in which programs are you trying to get to run faster?

Id increase system RAM and Video Ram if gaming, rather than trying to up the C
PU.
Chances are you might not be able to make that big of a jump -- (but consult your motherboards specs) Its possible, but cose to unlikely.

Both RAMS would show a more considerate increase in speed vs just a CPU upgrade alone.
Now if someone gave you the new CPU and it fit -- well i say okay..But if you are budget conscious and want the most ag for your buck -- pump your money into more RAM and a better Video Card.

But then again, we dont know why youre wanting to make an upgrade in the first place. If youre just an average joe type user no heavy game play, no vid editing no cad type stuff, then your really not going to see that much improvement unless your systems on the lower end of the spectrum to begin with

Answer 3

Usually going from one CPU to a higher speed is ONLy prudent if DOUBLING the processor speed. The exception would be going from a CELERON CPU to a Pent-4 CPU which has a wider bus structure and WILL make a difference.

Best bet is to ADD memory instead. Memory usually gives a higher return on the costs. Memory is less than $100 per GIG of DDR2 these days...

Answer 4

Yes. But make sure the chip fits into the motherboard - check the form factor of the chip.

Answer 5

if each and every thing is positive, your workstation will comprehend the hot CPU and each and every thing will artwork positive. be certain the CPU is meant by the motherboard, maximum impressive socket type, adequate ability, and new heatsink/fan assembly if needed.

Answer 6

unless you play the latest games, all that happens is that your bank balance goes down...

otherwise you will get a pretty decent increase in fps (frames per second) than what you currently are getting with the games you play.

Answer 7

yes a little. dont forget everything else is related, (hardware) and you may have to get a new ms key for windows.

Answer 8

refer to the manual
this will inform you of type and maximum size of cpu you can use

Answer 9

It will help to a point. if you want your pcto handle better. increase your ram. think of it this way. more ram more your pc can handle at one time.

not necessarily depends on if your motherboard can cope with it check out with your local computer geek
