I have an Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard which is running an Intel Pentium D processor, it is a 3.0ghz dual-core. I would like to upgrade this because it is in my opinion slow and an upgrade of the processor would not cost me a great deal.
I would like to know how easy it is to upgrade a CPU on this motherboard (is it as easy as changing a RAM chip).
Also what processors should I consider when upgrading, I am currently running windows XP but I would probably upgrade to Windows 7. My gut instinct is telling me to go for a Quad-Core but I dont know whether the price I pay will be reflected in the performance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
