dont know socket

zeppelin03 · 08-05-2007, 08:17 PM

I am trying to find out what socket i have on my motherboard, or better yet what mother board it is. Its a hp computer and i have a stock motherboard. Is there a menu or anything i can access to find out the information about my computer. It is about 4 years old and i am looking to upgrade my processor, so I'm not suprised if my motherboard is out dated at this point anyways.

What is the model of your computer? You can look up your specs on HP's website.

its a pvilion a350y. for some reason whenever i try to get the information i cant find it on there website. The motherboard is probably about 4 years old. I assume a new one is needed for the new pentium duos anyways. Is this correct
