Hey there,
I bought this current PC from the website about a year ago and I feel I would like to upgrade the CPU as it is starting to not meet the minimum specifications of new games that are coming out and is bottlenecking the GPU.
The specs are as follows:
2.90 gigahertz AMD Athlon II X2 245
Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)
Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. M61PME-S2P
4096 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory
ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
400W Power Supply
I have looked at the motherboard and it downgrades hyperthreading or something with some CPUs but I really don't have a clue what that means!
So my question is, is this system possible to upgrade? What could it be upgraded to (if anything)?
Thanks a lot for any replies, much appreciated
