How hard is it to change a processor?

Hey there, everyone. I've been considering changing up my computer's processor, as it's far behind the times(Pentium II). Only problem is I remember hearing a while ago that it's more trouble than it's worth, and you'd probably be better off getting a new computer. So, how hard is it exactly to replace a processor, anyways? And are there any hurdles I should look out for?How hard is it to change a processor?No its not hard at all. But if you are using a PII you would be wasting your time and money on an upgrade. There would be virtually no increase in speed that would be noticeable and because anything you would buy has long been obsolete, it would have to be used.



Time for a new computer or stay with what you have.How hard is it to change a processor?pentium II?

you need a new computer.

pentium II chips use a different way of connecting to motherboards than modern chips so unless you plan on buying a new motherboard...and plus a computer that uses pentium II is far out dated. when you get a new computer you will astounded by it's speed.



but had you had a modern motherboard with a modern lga 775 socket it's actually really easy to change them out. i recently built a computer so i have first hand experience.
