The vendors provide a full range of processors. If you need a CPU that is not on the listed, please contact the vendors < vendor contact information >

TIPS Check that your motherboard BIOS has the CPU temperature monitor ENABLED as well as the cooling fan .

The build-up of dust can slow the CPU fan and increase the operating temperature of the processor.
CPU cooling is essential for the system to work without the Windows BLUE SCREEN popping up.

If your buying a AMD 64 bit processor use WINDOWS XP Professional x64, 64 - bit native applications can deliver more data per clock cycle, making them run faster and more efficiently. The 64 processor enables larger memory, supporting up to 128 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and 16 terabytes of virtual memory, enabling applications to run faster when working with large data sets.

Applications can preload substantially more data into virtual memory, allowing rapid access by the 64-bit processor. Visit Microsoft for further information
