My MOBO supports Pentium D(Smithfield) up to 3.2 which is the 840. Questions =
Intel lists 2 of them @ 90nm. Both identical except for the technology. One being AO and the other being BO. I'm lost here. I will post links for all 3 CPUs
1) My existing 630 - http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8Q7
2)840#1 A0 - http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL88R
3)840#2 B0 - http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8CM
I hope I didn't make this too complicated but I'd really appreciate all the help and input I can get before shelling out the cash. This will be my first CPU upgrade. I've already upped my VID card and my PSU. I'm Thinkin dual core will help me allot. The 630 I have now is basically useless on multi-tasks which I do allot of. Not to mention some pretty serious gaming.
Thanks again for all your help,Much appreciated.
