My son has a Compaq SR1703WM computer. It has a AMD sempron 1.8 CPU. I want to upgrade it to a x64 CPU and I know that the 939 CPU's are kind of out dated but I would like to get his computer to play the games he likes for a while longer, until I can save up for a new system.
Now, the problem I have is that I was told that the Compaq computer was a stoke job and there was no way I could change the CPU out. I didn't understand this, it makes no sence to me. If the MB is a socket 939 and I upgrade to a socket 939 CPU why can't i do this?
Does anyone know if this MB will not let you upgrade or if my local computer shop[ tech guy is just trying to sell me a motherboard too? Thank you very much for your help on this.
