Upgrade CPU?

[BlindObject]

In the future, I'd like to upgrade my cpu.

Problem is...I don't know exactly what kind to purchase.

My current one is a Intel Pentium 4 2.8ghz.

What kind of socket is it? Any LGA 775?

If you want to figure out what CPU you currently have, try this.

Download CPU-Z from here.

Click on the About tab. Click the Registers Dump (.txt) button near the bottom. Save it to wherever you wish on your computer, then attach it here.

It would help if you provided the model of your Motherboard. If you dont know the model, there are programs that easily help you to find this. You could use CPU-Z which can be found here.

*Heh, that will teach me to play with my niece in the middle of a post. I was beat to the punch.

My mother board is a ASUSTeK Computer INC. 'P4SD-LA' Rev 1.xx

Bus Clock: 200 megahertz

That looks to me to be a socket 478, not 775LGA. So you should be able to replace with any 478 with a 800Mhz FSB(front side bus). Given all of this, I dont think your Motherboard is much more upgradeable than what you have... you could find around 3.0 GHz.

So I dont think you can upgrade your processor much more without upgrading your Motherboard as well.

How do you know? And where can I find the info on how to get the right CPU?

EDIT! Never mind! I found it! It's a Socket 478 mPGA
