Since this forum has helped me build a pc before - one that plays all the latest games in 720p ultra settings - I thought I'd return for a query I have.

I'm considering buying a Packard Bell iStart D2391 pc for my dad, as he's happy with old school games. I can buy it for about £15, but the cpu is painfully slow.

Does anyone know what would be the fastest supported CPU for this model?

I've tried researching, but only seem to find memory upgrade queries or fault solutions.

Any help would be appreciated, although bidding ends for the computer soon - if I don't have a solution by tomorrow, I will just leave it for someone else to buy.

Thanks, in advance, for any help given.

No idea what the CPU inside that PC is, care to share?

the listing only states

Genuine Intel(r) CPU 1.60GHz

not even sure which one

according to Geekbench Browser, the motherboard is probably

Packard Bell BV RC415

couldn't say with any certainty though.

I'll give it a pass, it can be a Pentium 4. That is not something you want to waste £15 on.
