Hello. I'm pretty new to computer hardware installation and etcetera, and I need some help!
I am strongly thinking about upgrading to a new motherboard, to support a new and faster processor. Since I have no prior knowledge of this subject, I need someone who can tell me exactly what I need to know, like the form factor, and other specifications. Also, if anyone has any product that they have or would recommend, that would be helpful. I started to look at buying a new processor, took in a lot of information, and realized that my processor was a P4 Williamette, and the maximum processor speed I can get is 1.8 GHz, and I have a 1.5 GHz, so I didn't think it worth the money. What would be the price range of upgrading to a good motherboard and good processor? What kind of motherboard do you recommend I get for what processor? I really need some help here.
Thanks!
