Hi there (once again),

Maybey a noob like question (caus i never ever took the time to focus on processors).

I have a pretty good rig, but however my processor sucks, intel pentium 2,8ghz (2 years old)

Can i just replace the old one with a new one? let's say: 3,6ghz? or do i need a whole new mobo then?

Many thanks from your old buddy,
Shifty

Programs like SISandra will tell you what your mobo is capable of supporting ... give that a try Bro

What motherboard you have ?!
you can buy new CPU in the same socket you have, and you can do some OC

(Like Mine)

My mobo is:

Fujitsu siemens D1875

it says at fsb speeds:

fsb speed: 4x 201mhz (804mhz data rate)
max fsb speed : 4x 200mhz/ 2x 200mhz

need somethin else?

Socket 478 like mine

But why you think that you processor suck ?!
You have Celeron ?!

Find in the bios some advenced option like Overclock.
If you dont have, Buy another processor.
