This is my wife computer ,after adding a LG Wh08LS20 bluray burner,she wants more CPU power.

Specs

500W PSU
AMD 9600 CPU
3870 GPU
3G Ram
1Tb HDD
Optiarc DVD RW AD 7200
LG WH08LS20 Bluray burner

What is the best CPU upgrade without bottlenecking it or will it take any X4
I was looking at
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb
Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor - Processors - Desktops $155

Do you have a link for the specs, or at least a model number for the PC? Searching Google doesn't really turn up much on the baord.

It's a Acer M5100 I did a google and searched acer's site I didn't get much

Other than giving the chipset info the specs sheet really doesn't help much, but I tend to agree with these guys over at the AMD forum. typically for an older board to support newer chips the manuf. has to release a newer bios, something that is seriously lacking with these oem boards.
