I am planning to upgrade my 3.00ghz Core 2 Duo E6850 to a Core 2 QUAD (Used, Budget of $30).
Current CPU: 3.00ghz Core 2 Duo E6850 (Socket 775 LGA)
Current GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6450 (1gb DDR3)
Motherboard: Dell 0PU052
I know how to Physically put the CPU into my computer, and that it can support up to the E6000 Generation of Intel Processors. I heard that i had to "Update the Bios", however, if i want everything to work. Can someone guide me through the procedures i would have to take if i wanted to install the processor?
(Bonus: Help me find the best CPU in my Budget that IS Compatible)
Edit: Accidentally said i was upgrading to a core 2 Duo, but im upgrading to core 2 quad
