is the CPU upgradeable?

Hello, We have probably 10 or more of these in our office. They are not upgradable. Some of them have been very good, but we had three that died in less than 90 days. I actually like HP or Dell better.

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

NO. That particular CPU has been supported for a long time. See list here; http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx?SLanguage=en&p;=1&s;=42&m;=P9X79%20PRO&o;s=&hashedid;=ITjeO1wq0nRUPfej

Yes, it is very easy to upgrade everything, I just changed video card and power supply very easy.

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

I believe so IF you have the proper BIOS version. According to the Gigabyte website the cpu is only supported with Bios Version "F4" or later. The cpu must also be revision S1 or later (some may call this the stepping code). It is not clear to me how you might upgrade if the I7-4820 is the only CPU you have. Please note: I have had very limited success with Engineering Samples (ES) CPUs with my Gigabyte motherboards (GA-X79-UP4, GA-X79S-UP5). My advice is stay with the retail releases.

I'm not really sure but I would think that if your CPU has only a 2.0 USB port, you would have to update to get full benefit.

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. Any video card is compatible with this processor. If you are installing both items new, just remember to change your Bios Graphics Settings to PCI, before first boot.

Unless you pick it out at a retail store such as the Microsoft Store or Best Buy, you cannot be guaranteed the new CPU. However, in reality, there is no perceptible difference between the CPUs except on some arcane benchmarks. Real world use will show no difference. But I respect your desire for the "latest and greatest" and applaud you for asking this intelligent question.

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

That would be a "NO" If I read the specs right you are running PC-2700 and that in no way can be upgraded to what you want.

The mobo is designed to run any A series processor, so yes you can upgrade to any A series cpu when the current A4 is outdated. When you buy this computer though halocustompc I will upgrade the processor to a A6 for free. Also it has wifi card installed.

No, it's not compatible with either. This CPU is actually kind of a gag gifts you give it as a present, and when they try to install it, it doesn't fit and you laugh at their plight. Duh.
