You can 100% upgrade the cpu in your Acer Vetrion M670
from the Socket 775 Intel Pentium
E5200 CPU2.5 GHz to a Socket 775 Core
2 Duo E8600 3.333 GHz that will give you about 40% relative
performance to your E5200 but I would also update the DDR3-SDRAM RAM and do a Crucial System Scan as this desktops
max RAM is 8GB but do the scan as it will tell you the top and fastest RAM modules
suitable for your desktop and also fit a 2.5” SSD and also fit a dedicated gpu
like the NVIDIA GT1030 or Radeon HD 7450 etc and improve its PSU from its OEM
300W if your gpu requires it, as all these upgrades will make your desktop a
very handy platform for Win-10 instead of what it was designed for which is
windows Vista, if you want to go to this level as just upgrading the cpu will
do nothing. .
