Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my desktop's pentium processor. I've found two possible replacements. One is an i5 and the other is an i7. The i7 looks better(duh), but I'm wondering if it is compatible with my machine. Here are the two processors and the info of my computer. Are both or either of these processors compatible with my machine?
The processor I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116399
The i5: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116876
