I currently have the Athlon II X3 400e @ 2.2 GHz in my TouchSmart.  What is the fastest CPU i can use without burning out the CPU or Motherboard?  The product number is BN555AV#ABA

 

Thanks in advance!

@tomdotcom , welcome to the forum.

 

Here is the Motherboard Specifications page for the computer.  If you look at the section titled "Processor upgrade information" it lists the processors that are compatible with the motherboard.  These are the only ones that have been fully tested to assure they will work.
