Best possible processor for PC
03-26-2021 02:24 PM

I'm trying to make the best of my PC, a HP Compaq dc7600S model.
Please help me find the best suitable processor for my old PC.
Thank you !

Hi:
Below is the link to the dc7600 quickspecs. The supported processors are listed by form factor.
HP Compaq dc7600 Business PC - Worldwide QuickSpecs (nts.nl)
The best processor you can install is the Pentium D 945 or 950.
The only difference between the 945 and 950, is the 950 supports Virtualization Technology.

You're very welcome.
I agree, since there isn't a better heatsink you can use.
However the PD 945 has a TDP of 95W, which is only 11W more than the P4 630.
