Reason I'm asking cause I'm doing some changes on my old comp so that my step sister will buy it xD She needs a new comp bad but my old comp is a 1.66GHz or something and I'm putting in a 2.6GHz for her (I will get more money then xD)



Sorry for the weird question but I'm just using parts of my parents old comp that broke, but most stuff still worked I even used the ram and vid card for awhile xD
Broken CPU in a MB means no activity at all. U can press the power button but that's as far as u go IMO.

About changing parts from 1 pc to the other, u must have motherboards that support the parts. From your question I gather you don't know much about hardware... Video cards, as long as they are put in the correct sockets (PCI-E, AGP. PCI), always work (same with HD - IDE in IDE and SATA in MB that have SATA - and drives) but the same cannot be said about RAM and CPU.
