Hi guys,

I just had a quick question. I am troubleshooting a computer that had an Intel Celeron processor. It is a Compaq Presario SR1110NX. Either the motherboard or the CPU is fried. I want to troubleshoot the CPU first. So can I buy and install any CPU (AMD or Intel) on the motherboard?

Thanks for all your help in advance.
