Hi guys,
I am trying to upgrade the processor on my pc which is an aspire t180. It's currently running a AMD Sempron 3400+ AM2 socket on mcp61sm-am motherboard and from what i've read it is made by foxconn?
I've just bought a new processor, AMD 7750 black edition, and was wondering would my motherboard be able to run this or would i need a new mobo?
Judging from forum posts around i think this mobo supports only upto Athlon x2 6000+ but have not found any real evidence to see what this mobo can support.
Is there a bios upgrade i can use so that i can use this mobo as buying and changing the mobo/reinstalling OS + drivers + progs etc is pretty time consuming.
Also, if i stick the processor in and find out the mobo doesn't support it (but it is the right socket) can i damage either the cpu or mobo?
thanks in advance.
