Can the CPU be upgraded to the quad core x5365?

The workstations motherboard socket type is 771 and the cpu you are asking about is also a 771 i see no reason why the cpu will not work

I doubt it since the cpu is an older generation. But its always best to have all hardware up to date so definitely update it.

I can't see why not; the only difference is one generation of processor; as long as you don't exceed your OS limits you should be fine.

It could if you're replacing a weaker CPU. It handles overclocking quite well up to almost 4.1ghz. If you want a better CPU for the 775 board, try Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66GHz. You can find one under $100.00. But, if you really want a better upgrade, I'd suggest you get an 1155 socket board and I5 or I7 CPU plus DDR3 ram. Much better upgrade.

I am not sure if it's possible to upgrade to the latest technology, it has limited slots and physical internal space to add memory, upgrade processor and so on.. I sold this computer already cause it is discontinued but when I asked that question the geeksquad [best buy] estimated around $400 if you provide the parts..

Im certain your cpu can handle it. I would like to know if my i5 650 can....

Yes, you can replace the processor. And if you place high detailed games yes you should. Its graphic card rating is a 4.6 out of 10 it shows. Everything else is 7.5 to 8.5.

You will need to update the bios; worse yet, you need a compatible CPU on board to do the update ( like the Trinity CPU family ).

Yes, but it will be very slow. I would look for a computer with a I7 Quad 1.73 or faster.

If it is an lga 775 setup yes, if your current cpu is any of the Pentium D series then you are good to go. I used one of these in a Dell Dimension E510 from 2005/6 best 5-12 bucks I ever spent :) upgraded from a D 820

Im not 100% sure but i would recommend getting the i7-4770k quad core for gaming. You would be very happy.

Yes..I checked the MSI website for this board/cpu combination you mentioned and YES, supported.

yes you can but i would recommend something in the fx 4xxx or fx 6xxx range, but if you just need a cheap processor and not doing heavy gaming it will work just fine.
