I would like to upgrade my pc to 2 ghz. Where do I buy the software and what should I ask for
1. Check user documentation for supported CPUs for your system.
2. If 2.0GHz CPU is supported on your system, you don't need any additional software.
3. I would upgrade the BIOS firmware first. It might have an additional CPU support.
4. Read information from you old CPU. Exemple: 1.4GHz/256/400. 1.4GHz is a speed of your CPU. 256 is a 256k cache, and 400 is 400MHz BUS speed. In general you can boost speed to 2.0GHz or more and cache to 512k, just keep your BUS speed to 400
5. Post your system model or your motherboard model. That information would help in determining the maximum speed of the CPU for your system.
Good lick!
At the following link you will find all supported CPUs for your PC. You can upgrade your PC up to 2.6GHz P4 processor. You will be looking for CPU with 2.6GHz/512/400.
