Hi guys,

I want to know If the cpu can be upgraded but cant find any info as to what other cpu's the mobo will except. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

it's a PC at least 14/15 years old, do you really want to upgrade it ?

here there is a manual:

Hi, @enzo12345 

Below is the link to the dx6100 Quickspecs.

The supported processors can be found on page 5.

Thanks Paul and Trytodo!

Am I sure to upgrade this old pc? Yes, I like impossible missions! It depends on costs: If I can find a newer cpu at a cheap price, I can try.

Rather, can you suggest me another advice?  I cannot install windows 10 on this machine. Ok Win 7, ok Win 8.1, ok Ubuntu versions, but there's no possibility to install win 10. The pc immediately restarts after the bios screens. I don't understand: my pc is old, but It provides the minimal requirements for Win 10 ( it has 3 GB ram ddr pc 2700, 250 GB hard disk).

You're very welcome.

You would only be able to install W7 32 bit and Ubuntu on that model.

There are no graphics drivers for W8.1 for the dx6100.
