In order to replace a CPU you will have to know the CPU's your MB will
accept.
In order to replace a CPU with a faster one you will need to make necessary
changes in the BIOS to the Multiplier, FSB, & VCore voltage or replace the
old or burnt out one with the same size.
If you are using a manufactured computer (ie: HP, Compaq, Dell, ect.) then
these setting will more then likely be lock to prevent users from changing
them and overclocking.
I might be possible to check the manufactures website to see if they offer a
BIOS flash to be able to upgrade to a fast CPU.
NOTE: BIOS flashing should only be done by experienced tech's because if not
done correctly can render your computer useless.
