Is it possible to upgrade the CPU, such as an i5? Thanks!

Like S. Yu, I am not a computer guru. However, you should be able to search & find your answer on Google, YouTube and/or BING. Enjoy your ASUS computer (I very much LOVE mine!)! Best of luck to you finding the answer to your question.

Yes, you can definitely do that... but if you have to buy a motherboard, get a new model, this one is fairly outdated. So unless you have some legacy issue (like i did), i would recommend you to get a newer model

Going with this CPU from the I5 would be a small downgrade. If your looking to upgrade onto AMD go with at least a FX 6300 or better If you have the socket to fit. The FX 6300 is a 6 core if you can afford the 8xxx series ( 8 core), that's even better. This is a great CPU but in all honestly it would be a slight downgrade from the i5 you have now.

Yes sir, it is compatible with that CPU. I have the Intel Core i5-2500 in my current build and it works like a dream!

You should be able to. I have the same card with an i5 3690k and I have no problem.

Yes you can. You can use just one of the listed supported CPU's. If you're having issues with a certain CPU you may need the BIOS upgraded, or buy a BIOS chip with the upgraded BIOS needed for the processor you're using.

Not real good on the technical stuff, when I pull up the system page, for processor it says: Intel Pentium CPUB490 @ 2.00GHz don't know if this is what you needed or not. If it isn't, if you let me know where to find it, I'd be more then happy to check!

Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.

I don't know the answer to that question. The PC meets my needs as is and I have never looked into possible upgrades. Sorry.

No, this is basically a 4 physical core processor, whcih you already have. Only certain software will take advantage of the additional "cores".

Yes you can. The motherbord has an AM3+ socket and the core socket is AM3+. Is a really good cpu tho

From i5 to i7 is a good amount of speed difference. Most users wont see the difference unless you are a Gamer, that when the i7 Processor shines.

It can be ordered in either i5 or i7 configuration, but upgrades of either the processor or memory are not possible due to packaging constraints

Sorry, this Dell PC is just too old. Not compatable with newer CPU,s Its time to retire this machine. Dont waste your time and money on trying to upgrade this PC

Yes you should be able, depending on your processor and amount of RAM available

No. This is a desktop spec CPU. You can't upgrade a laptop CPU. All you can do is upgrade RAM and Harddrive.
