Hi,

My motherboard is an ASUSTek Computer INC. LEONITE 5.00 and I was thinking of upgrading the processor, I know that I cannot run quad core but I was wondering what kind of dual core processors I could use.

I am currently using two cores at 1.86GHz, but was hoping to upgrade to 2.4GHz (or higher if possible.)

Also, which types of processors could I use (eg. E4600 etc)

Thanks for the help and sorry for my rather noobish lack of knowledge...:o
 
Well, what CPU do you have now? I googled for specs, didn't find any as I've reached my download limit and am speedlimited for one more week (:() but it appears that some people do have a quad on taht board.
 
It should appear in the manual or at least on the box of the motherboard (if you kept them :D). You could search on the Asus website for information.
 
I don't have an awful lot of information because it's a reformatted computer that did not come with any manuals etc.

Belarc says I have this as a processor:

1.87 gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo

I searched the Asus site but they do not seem to have any information of the motherboard.

EDIT: Ah, here it is:

Looking at the processors it can run, would I be able to upgrade to this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp... "LGA775 Allendale" 2.40GHz (800FSB) - Retail

Thanks.
