Solved: Pavilion a430n CPU upgrade? - HP Support Community

CoolMan2002 · ‎08-16-2018

I recently got an old HP Pavilion a430n desktop computer to replace my old Presario. It has an Athlon XP 3200+ 2.2GHz processor. My question is, is it possible to upgrade the processor to a better one and if so what is the best one I can get. I've looked around online and there is no real information anymore (since it was all removed).
