While the concept of swapping CPUs to increase hp is good sounding, in practice it fails. Things like bus and memory speed. Along with the fact that they like to change CPU sockets like its going out of style, make swapping CPUs very uncommon. I've been the game for a few years now and have bothered to do a CPU swap exactly once. And that case was a single core CPU that later had dual core released in the same socket, so a near x2 increase, along with removing the single core chock point of the system.
Real world, I swap the mainboard/CPU/ram for a system upgrade to be worth doing.
Maybe I'm different than other geeks?
