Can I change the processor on my desktop by myself?

I want to play the Sims 3, but it requires a 2.0GHz P4 processor, but mine only has a 1.80GHz. I just want to know how easy it would be for me to buy a processor and replace it.Can I change the processor on my desktop by myself?if you have a laptop, you cannot upgrade the processor as it is soldered to the motherboard.



if you have a desktop, you can buy P4 processors from many companies online to upgrade your processor (such as newegg or tigerdirect) it is pretty simple to replace a processor on your own as long as you can follow instructions and are detail oriented.



the only P4 chip newegg offers is this one
