What is the highest dual core processor speed avaliable? (Answer to my question) If so can someone tell me how to do it please. I have an HP A350N. It's running a 2.6 with 2.5 Gigs of Ram a 160 Gb Hard drive. and a few other goodies.. Any and all answers would be greatly appreciated.. jbasmn1 (at) yahoo

Best Answer: No. Only one MOBO (motherboard) can be used in a case. No way can you parallel them together. As to processor speeds & needs, go to a site like TigerDirect.com (not shilling here folks). Forget the MOBO you have now, find another that will support the dual core CPU that you want. That hardest thing to do is in seperating your 'needs' from your 'wants'. It all comes down to what you want to spend. - Larry F
