Ok, so i ran CPU-Z and it said the package i had was Socket 775 LGA, well i ran that in google and came up with a few things, then i ran it through newegg and got a bunch of processors with the same type if socket, one of them being a core 2 duo and quad, now, i know some of you might have seen my pc, so i can save alot of dough by just upgrading the CPU, Video card, and PSU, but here's my question, as long as i get the same type of socket cpu, is this upgrade possible????
My Current CPU is a Intel Pentium 4 630 (3.00ghz with HT technology)
Codename: Prescott
Current PSU is a 225watt, but i can upgrade it
and my current video card is a Nividia 7300GS (PCI-E)
Thank You In advance for the help
GivenToFly11: #1 You don't need to make two threads #2 No it's not going to work. Your motherboard is ancient. Core 2 CPU's will not work on it. Anyways, I'm off to work soon. If you have any more questions I'll answer them when I get back. PS: Upgrading your computer is a waste of money. I'm not trying to be an a$ but from what I say the majority of upgrades will not be compatible and it's just a waste.

This was just an extreme budget build i wouldnt build any less than a quad core or higher for myself and would never pay for an already built pc.
im gone to be doing a 250 dollar quad core (amd makes a 99 dollar quad core) build for a mate of mine when he gets his money together
