I know I have the CPU thread, but I still felt I should just make a new thread. I read about 2-3 different threads on cpu upgrades, and although I am very computer savvy I am not so much in the Touchsmart field, at least not yet. It's still on it's way to me. I'm willing to pay any price to make my touchsmart faster(or the fastest!) so all I'm looking for are simple answer of the fastest known processor to work, and the fastest video card I can upgrade to.

There's a computer company that can order me parts that you cannot buy retail, such as processors and video cards so if you know something faster than the MXM II 9600M GT that you know will work in the Touchsmart, then let me know. Also, I definitely need to know the fastest working processor since I already ordered it under the false assumption that I could put a Quad Core in it since they were both socket P, which was my mistake.

My third question, is I that I read that the IQ800 series supports up to 8gigs of ram. I would also like to know the best ram I can get to upgrade to. I want to have the beefiest Touchsmart I possibly can guys so don't be shy :)

 The model I ordered is the IQ800 series
