INstalling the new CPU.
Is it just a case of remove the old one and fit the new one?
I've managed to get the old one out easily but a bit cramped for space. i've taken note how it was removed and which way it went it.
had to remove the fan and power supply :P
thanks!
they have charge in them because apple charge them fully to stop people from only charging them for 30mins then taking them off so you dont have the problem with a 2minute battery life!
If its only 1bar when you get it its probably because its been in the box for so long :)
Cheap as possible please. After broadband only really and with talktalk i can get it for £20.99 a month but i have no reason for a phoneline so as cheap as chips people please!!!
hence why i've bought a new CPU :) but i don't intend to play modern games really. Use as a media PC really and maybe a bit of CS/C&C/Solitare from time to time :D:D
@Fastwunz; I'm after a AGP
Thanks all for help!
i'm paying £30 for a proccessor because Socket A's seem far and few. I haven't really managed to find a decent one, that was the qucikest i'd found! As far as GFX cards go, £200 probably is a waste on one compared to the spec of the PC at the moment...
