I bought it about a year ago at Wal-Mart as a computer for the wife, but since she&#8217;s done with it I want to know if it&#8217;s salvageable.<\/p>\n<p>So the board type is an EMCP61M.<br \/>\nSocket: AM2 (940)<\/p>\n<p>The current processor is an AMD Athlon Neo MV-28 (1.8GHz) designation AMD Athlon 2850e.<\/p>\n<p>The computer currently has Windows 7 Home Premium (came installed) and it runs fantastic for average computing. I mean there is zero hang time on this thing. Everything just snaps up when I want it to. However, it can&#8217;t handle bigger loads and before I go buying a PCI-E Video Card or upgrading the PSU I want to make sure this thing can handle a new CPU first. Maybe a low end dual core or something along those lines.<\/p>\n<p>Is it upgradeable or should I try and dump it as soon as possible? I&#8217;m not a big fan of wasting things so I&#8217;ll do my best within a reasonable budget to upgrade it so it can survive at least a little longer. Hell, I have an XPS M1530 that I&#8217;m currently fixing up.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, can it be upgrade and if so, with what?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":3},"question-category":[44],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-11442","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-cpus"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/11442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=11442"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=11442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
