Also I live in Canada and if you refer me to a seller all the way in space then no thank you.</P> <P>( Thank you for your hospitality if you do offer it. )</P> Mon, 08 Aug 2022 01:29:29 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Bad-question/m-p/1406615#M58931 TheCheesemaker756 2022-08-08T01:29:29Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Bad-question/m-p/1406662#M58932 <P>You can purchase processors from Newegg or Amazon or a number of different places online.</P> <P>Before you "rip" out an old processor, you better check with the motherboard/system manufacturer to see what proceessors are supported by their bios.&nbsp;&nbsp; Socket compatibility is not enough.&nbsp; A processor must also be bios compatible.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Doc (not an Intel employee or contractor)<BR />[Maybe Windows 12 will be better]</P> Mon, 08 Aug 2022 05:02:55 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Bad-question/m-p/1406662#M58932 AlHill 2022-08-08T05:02:55Z
