Hello!
I have a Dell Precision 370 tower. It is a nice machine, however at work we have a Dell laptop that has the dual core which really kicks booty due to the fact the software I use always utilizes the 2nd processor.
Is it possible to upgrade my processor (or motherboard if necessary) so I can run the Dual on the 370 tower?
Below are the Everest specs on the tower.
Any recommendations are greatly appreaciated!
Thanks guys.
