Hi Im currently using an Acer Veriton 6900pro with a 3.0ghz single core processor and was wondering if the processor would be upgradable from the motherboard that comes with this COMPUTER pre-installed, I wan't to know if I can put a dual core or even up to a quad core into this mother board or would I have to buy a new mother board all together.

If I were to buy a new processor if it were indeed upgradable then which brands would you recommend? I found an Amd dual core process at 2.4ghz for 33$, would this be good for the computer? Im a gamer and bought this computer thinking it would run most games but instead I need a dual core processor at least.

Thanks ahead of time

let me get my computers details and post it just in case you say you need them first.


That is a lot of information, what is the MAKE and model of the motherboard though?alright got RID of all that text from LAST post since it wasn't helpful

Is this what you need?

Board: Acer FQ965M MP
Serial Number: 04EG73007170
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: PHOENIX Technologies, LTD R03-A3 06/13/2007Here is the specs for your system, it shows a few different processors for you.would I be able to upgrade to a dual core processor? This is direct from the link I posted for you, it shows the different processors available for that system.

Intel® Pentium® 4 up to 3.4 GHZ processor with up to 800 FSB
or Intel® Pentium® D up to 3.6 GHZ processor with up to 1066 FSB
or Intel® Celeron® D up to 3.46 GHz processor with up to 800 FSB

To be absolutely certain I would recommend contacting Acer directly.thanks a bunch
