So could you give me a suggestion what CPU I would need? See this link. The reason I want to upgrade is that I want to convert VHS to DVD.<br />

Requirements<br />
<br />
Processor: Pentium IV 2.0 GHz or equivalent <br />
<br />

<div>
I would go for the E4600 or E4400 - they might be a little hard to find, as they have been superceded by the newer 45nm cpus (which won't work on that motherboard). &nbsp;

<div>
Have you tried the software? The original processors (Celeron D 360 and Celeron 356) should be enough for that software, they are better than the old Pentium IV 2GHz. 
</div>


<div>
I am afraid to try it. If it does not work then I can't return it.
</div>


<div>
The only thing that would happen is you find the video compression takes a long time. &nbsp;Regardless of which processor you use, it will work; the only question is how long it takes. &nbsp;The recommended processor is not a hard and fast rule when it comes to video compression, and a Celeron D 360 will work.

<div>
Believe it or not they were converting VHS to DVD way back in the '90's before 1.0GHz P3 were released.<br />

upgrading CPU

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
