changing CPU

[judder]

How difficult is it to remove the current CPU on my motherboard and replace it with a new one? If the new chip fits the socket, are there any other compatibilty things I should be aware of?

Its very easy just remove the old and in with the new.

Just make sure your old CPU/heatsink is powerfull to cool your new CPU.

Also if you used the heatpaste that was pre applied on your CPU/heatsink you will most likely have to clean that up and apply some new paste.

Also check your BIOS revision can take the upgraded CPU.
