(Sorry for the double post, it wouldn't let me update the first post)
Okay, from what I have just found, the board has a Socket FS1 chipset. This means (hopefully) that I can upgrade to an A8-3510MX. (I was thinking a 3550, but 360 bucks to get one from the US, vs 80 bucks to get one here? No brainer there)
Can anyone give me confirmation on this? I'd hate to buy a CPU, tear the system apart and put it together again, only to have it blow a giant raspberry at me.
Edit: Another question!
Will changing the CPU allow me to install more than 8GB of RAM? I really would like to install 16GB, since my fiance uses photoshop a lot. (She absolutely decimates her desktop rig when she gets into her art)
