Hello, I am thinking of upgrading my cpu processor on my windows 8 pavilion 20 b010, an all-in-one computer, but I am unsure about doing it because I don't know if my computer can handle it. I am looking to upgrade it to a 2.5GHz-3.7GHz processor but am unsure that my system can handle it, because the one I currently have is only 1.48 GHz, so it makes me think my pc won't be able to handle it because it is so small, and because it's an all-in-one computer, so I don't know if my cpu can even be changed. Can someone please help me with this issue, it would be much appreciated.

Oh thanks for the info but I'm looking to improve the cpu for gaming, (most games these days require about 3GHz to run it at a good speed) but thanks anyway for the help. I'll just have to face it and be one of those people who run games at like 1-6 fps.
