Suppose I have located the CPU, now how do I find out which type 'slot' it is in order to get the right CPU to upgrade it?

Its a lga1150 socket. The motherboard specs will tell you which socket it is.

The best way I can think of to tell, would be to locate the mother board numbers (make and model) and do a search on those. That will tell you the "socket" ie. 775, 1150, 1155 ect. if its intel or a amd board.

You can go to the ASRock website and look at the list of compatible processors.

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.

Hi friend, my better advise is: go to the crucial page and use the wizard to select the right choice offer by crucial.

Look at the memory you now have. It should have this on it somewhere - DDR2-533 - and it should look like the memory in the picture.

Yes you can. You can use just one of the listed supported CPU's. If you're having issues with a certain CPU you may need the BIOS upgraded, or buy a BIOS chip with the upgraded BIOS needed for the processor you're using.

First check the documentation for the motherboard and what it supports, because you can fry the board if you do not put in the right RAM

Find out the name and model number of your motherboard. Go to the manufactures website, put in model number, and that will tell you if this CPU is right for your motherboard.

I don't know. You can go to www.crucial.com and check. They have an on-line tool that will check the insides of your computer, and determine the correct type of memory. Remember that most computers have a maximum amount of memory that can be supported, despite how many open slots you have.

No if it is anything except socket FM2+ or FM2 it will not fit the cpu slot.

Neither of those names are recognized by the Manufacturer. You need to look on the motherboard itself for the model name/number then visit the website support for the compatible CPU list.

The style appears to be the same so it should fit in the slot on the mobo but you will need to download the drivers from Intel before it will actually be usable.
