Hi peeps trying to help out a friend with a fairly old computer on a budget, only really does web, email and accounts on PC so am some what against suggesting bin current machine for a new one since its low end use. He has an Athlon 64 x2 4200+ (2.2Ghz) in a FOXCONN M61PMV mobo. I am upgrading the ram from 1GB to 4GB (yes I will loose 1/2 GB becasue of 32bit OS but...). He has also asked if I would price a CPU upgrade I wanted to check that any/which of the AM2/AM2+ cpu would work on this mobo from the OC's website? As long as I keep to the same 65W I would be ok to reuse the PSU and heatsink without incurring further cost to make the upgrade work?
