You don't need to change the motherboard if you want to upgrade to those. I'd recommend saving your money and just overclocking the 4300. It's one heck of an amazing chip for overclocking. And yeah, you can overclock a computer from circuit city

It would help to know the manufacturer and model number of your motherboard. But I haven't seen any that will take the 4300 and not the 6600. You might need faster RAM but your old stuff should boot. It just might not give your system optimal speed. But the 4300 is a good chip. Why upgrade? The cost/benefit of this is low.

definite, likely. on your particular computing device, the most RAM that it ought to help is 2gb, immediately it maximum probable has 256mb, it really is fairly low by at present's criteria. It helps DDR 333 (computing device 2700) and DDR four hundred (computing device 3200). it really is surely no longer in a position to apply DDR2 or DDR3. the ideal project you should do should be to purchase 2 1gb sticks of DDR four hundred RAM. that ought to prefer to run you about $60-$80 USD. you'll also opt to be effective to purchase 2 similar RAM modules, in case you do get more effective than one. typically they arrive in what's named 'twin channel kits', meaning it really is 2 of them in a kit, that are precisely alike. And more effective importantly; (Technical) They run on 2 channels, doubtlessly doubling the communique %. Oh, and as a part note, for performance, you'll choose a decrease "CAS" score, the mandatory is 3, yet you'll locate 2.5 or 2.

Yeah, you can. But just overclock. It's free and easy, especially for Core 2 CPUs.

Best place to check ? your motherboards manufacture, no point taking guesses then to find out it doesnt work.
