XPS 420, upgrading processor
Hello,
I would love to upgrade the processor in my XPS 420. It's currently running a Intel Q6600 2.6 and its a Quad core. I know the cache is 8mb and I was thinking of going for something with 12mb or even a 16mb if intel made one for this socket! I have already upgraded this computer a lot, 8gb ram, 2TB firecuda hybrid drive, 950gtx. Currently I use it for recording music but I will be editing video and would like to add some more speed to this desktop. Currently its running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Thanks
