Hi I have a fairly dated pc (Acer Veriton X275) with all original internals except for a bit more ram and I was wondering if I could upgrade the CPU from pentium to low-end i3 (I'm on a tight budget!) They both use the same socket (LGA1156) but the Pentium runs @3.06GHz and the i3-550 runs @3.20GHz. Thanks.
EXTRA: also is it worth buying a low end i5 and if I did that I'm fairly sure I'd need a new heatsink and fan from the original pentium's?
