Before you upgrade your cpu you need to make sure your bios is up to date for that you can navigate here: http://www.wimsbios.com/biosupdates/asrock.jsp As far as your memory is concerned...http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/ that website will run a scan and tell you the maximum amount of memory you can upgrade too...As far as the processor is concerned as long as its not soldered in than you could go ahead and upgrade. I would not suggest upgrading if it was soldered in unless you took it to a technician, theres just too much you could ruin by attempting it. I would purchase the processor of choice from a local retailer with a good return policy so if it doesn't take than you can always get your money back and try something a little less powerful.
