Want to upgrade emachine T3302 cpu

The cost of upgrading this machine for that purpose would be more than the cost of a new machine, and the results would be less than satisfactory. Also, if it is running XP, you need to move on to a supported (safer) machine.

How do I upgrade my CPU for emachine e725 ? What are some recommendation such as model number CPU? Intel Pentium Processor T4300 1M Cache 2 10 GHz 800 MHz FSB Teknik Belgeler

This particular model have AGP expansion slot located on motherboard, as this is rather obsolete computer, I am not sure if this is financially viable solution.

You will need phillips screwdriver.

To proceed with upgrade:

1. Switch off computer,
2. Remove power cord and monitor cord, if you want, you can disconect all remaining cords as well, but only if you are moving computer elsewhere.
3. Remove two thumbscrews holding left side (grill) panel, then slide it back and lift off
4. AGP slot is located below processor, just above white PCI slots, it is offset slightly towards front of the computer. If there is little screen mounted in first hole, remove it, depending how it is mounted by either, removing of the screw, or breaking it from the case.
5. Orient your card and insert it firmly in AGP slot, card should fit snuggly without bending or excessive force. Use screw to mount it to the back of the case frame.
6. Connect all cables, monitor cable to new installed video card, start your computer and check if there is display, if you have BIOS display, switch off computer, you installed your video card correctly.
7. Replace side moving it in reverse to removal, hung it first on the top and then slide forward, secure it back with thumbscrews.
8. Start back your computer
9. Install video drivers and setup your display to desired resolution.

Enjoy!

You can't upgrade a CPU.

absolutely

No - that is, not unless you replace the motherboard. It isn't designed for the new processor.

Yes, you are correct.

Your processor is a Pentium 4 processor that uses there are 3 different type of sockets for Pentium processors. Socket 423, socket 478, and the latest one is socket 775.
Based on the information here:

Your MoBo has a Socket 478 and since it only support 400MHz bus, then your maximum upgrade is 2.0MHz, because all other devices faster than that, need higher bus speed that your Mother Board does not support.

Hope you find the answer useful.
