Q6660 and ASUS P5LP-LE

Could I upgrade my cpu to the q6660 and do I have enough power with a 300W max psu connected to two cd drives and a 9600gt video card? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

A core 2 duo generally runs cooler and is more efficient than the pentium d 2.8ghz, so it would be a worthwhile upgrade. However, it looks like your HP only supports the 4000 or 6000 series. I have an E6550 which I am happy with, but it might be harder to find one of those cpu's now. Perhaps your HP would support the 7000 or 8000 series even though it's not listed.

A core 2 duo like the E6550 will work with a 945g chipset. That doesn't mean it's worth upgrading, though. I'm not sure about the minimum requirements for gaming, but you might find that you would want to upgrade the video card and the psu. Is that worth the expense ?
