I have an old Dell Optiplex 745 with a Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13Ghz and 6gigs of ddr2 ram, I want to upgrade to an E8400 3Ghz would the computer be able to handle it?
Do they have i7 machines in the same '$5 eBay upgrade' class?Kill it with fire. Get an i7 based machine. It's faster.
Problem being is that the pc doesn't support quad core processors.I think there are some core 2 quads that are 1066 fsb.
