I bought a Core 2 Duo CPU from member's market about a year ago. Have only just been in a house big enough to have a PC set up (laptop til then!!) and it seems the CPU is DOA. I'm not too fussed, it's probably my own fault for taking so long to use the flipping thing!
but anywho, long & short of it is, I need another socket 775 CPU. My mobo is an ASRock 4Core1333-FullHD which supports:
LGA 775 for Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme / Core™ 2 Quad / Core™ 2 Duo / Pentium® Dual Core / Celeron®, supporting Quad Core Yorkfield and Dual Core Wolfdale processors
I'm using the machine for music recording so don't need a massive amount of CPU power, not looking to spend LOADS, either - for reference i think the 2GHz chip I bought from MM was £40?? But if the board supports bette chips, perhaps I'd do well to go for a quad core or something? I don't know....
If anyone could suggest a good choice of chip, please let me know.
