Cpu change

[hjk]

hello everybody at the community.......now to the point .....i have an old pc with a good motherboard it currently has an intel pentium 4 so what i wanted to ask u that can i change the cpu and is there a driver required to run a cpu when it is changed so what is the complete process please tell me

It's a very simple process. Just take the old one out and put the new one in. Don't forget to apply thermal paste.
Now your problem is going to be finding a CPU to use. Since you still have a pentium 4 the only option is searching for second handed ones. Personally I'd simply get more money and get a new system

Research the cpu support for the motherbd that you have. You may find that you can support Core2's.

Forget the old pc. You may use it as a home server or use as a backup machine. Build a new one (Ivy Bridge).

I am pretty sure the I3 will not work in your motherboard... Did you mean you already bought an I3 without confirming it will work in your motherboard?

Too bad. But good you went here at Tom's before anything else...

Now you need to buy an Intel mother board. But knowing i3 could be 1st or 2nd generation, you better post exactly what is the processor number before we can suggest what motherboard you can get. Ex: i3-2XXX or i3-XXX

brother i have bought an intel dh61ww motherboard classic addition which is indeed very good and which other processors other than I7 can be used

I hope your i3 processor is the i3-2xxx type to go with the intel dh61ww motherboard.
