I recently got this new computer but found out that the processor operates very poorly. I want to switch out the processor with an Intel celeron 2.2Ghz (current one is 1.6Ghz the 2.2Ghz celeron was scraped from my old computer but the amd is a dual processor idk if that makes a difference I'm a noob.)
Well this is what the intel celeron says
intel '06 450
celeron 2.20GHz/512/800/06
And i've searched the internet and im afraid if i switch out the processor now that the motherboard won't recongize the intel celeron.
Help please.(sorry If i make no sense I'm rushing this)

ok well i just want to know if i can switch the amd with intel celeron

I can't find my motherboard brand sorry (
I don't want to open my computer up atm untill my 2 2GB of ram comes)

You can't change it that easy.
The mainboard is made for AMD Cpu's and you can't put a Intel processor in.
If you need a new processor you have to get a AMD.
Would be nice if you can post the name of your mainboard.

You would have real trouble trying to put 1 core in to 2 slots.

You cannot change it with the celeron but if you have the money you can replace it with an Athlon II X2 240 (2.8GHz), 245(2.9GHz) or a 250(3.0GHz).
I've got the 245 and it is fast enough for gaming, 3d modelling and normal use.

I have an anthlon x2 3.0 ghz and it's great.

yea thats why i was wondering why i have 3 fans inside my computer (since the fan usally covers the processor)
gorman do you know any amazing processor?

I think the ones that you can use with your motherboard are Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon II, Opteron, Phenom and Phenom II.

It has to be an AMD CPU. The Celeron won't even fit in there(different pin configuration).

Hmmm.... maybe if I saughter and place some diodes and ... ill just get a new better motherboard.
