Upgrade my CPU processor a bit
I have an old HP desktop and would like to upgrade the CPU processor,
but I'm not sure if there is a rule for what will fit.
I'm thinking about going from i5 to an i7 since cost is an issue,
and probably buying used off eBay unless there's a better way.
My budget is around $100.
Anybody got some advice for me?
