A: Offhand I would say, you can upgrade your processor, but it depends on your motherboard too. I cant give you a definite here without the model of your motherboard. However, you could probably upgrade the Ram without to much of a hassle, (how much depends one again on your motherboard model) and this will speed up your computer. Maybe you should consider that instead of upgrading the CPU.
