How do i find out what type of motherboard i have?

[chicagochris1988]

@cp4781 You can download a program called cpuz open it. Go to motherboard tab and it will tell you everything

Awesome video but can you even fit a graphics cards card in that computer?

[chicagochris1988]

@bart3tears Yes you can fit a video card in this computer. A lot of these slims will run LOW PROFILE graphics cards. I put a 9600GT in a clients computer once. It was a bery thin card

@notlihvic No. Changing processors does not require re-installation of Windows. :)

[notlihvic]

Do i need to reformat or reinstall windows?

i have a compaq CQ5600Y with a amd athlon II 170u processor, all stock computer. narra5 MB. says it will take AM2+ and AM3 CPU chipsets. will a AMD athlon II X4 640 Propus work on my setup? 95W TDP. will there be any bios issues? ram and 4-500 watt PSU will be upgraded too. ill subscribe if ur nice enough to lend me some advice :D

@cp4781 On your manufacturer's website, at the bios, on the motherboard itself (printed) or the cpuz program. :)

I have a Presario CQ5210F Computer. EVERYTHING is removable. You can remove the motherboard, replace the CPU, RAM, HDD, even add another optical drive. I have replaced the 250W Power supply with a 585W Orion, and installed a GIGABYTE GTX 550 Ti Graphics card (That's a GeForce). Next I am installing a Phenom II x4 3.2Ghz Deneb processor. (It is the best 95w processor I could find, esp. for the price)
