Hi,
The CPU in my PC (upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium x 64 from XP Pro) Dell OptiPlex 520 is (Pentium D 2.8GHz) old and slow. The MoBo model: Dell 0RJ290. BIOS is v.11.
What CPU with max. performance is acceptable for this MoBo, if at all?
My goal is to speed up my PC on the cheap.
Would Microsoft require a new product key or refuse giving out one, or the present key will suffice?
Thank you
