    i dont think the model number is n1996, there are different msi boards with that number but each has a unique board identifier in this format MS-(number) and it looks like it is where i highlighted on this board

    Being completely honest, depending on your budget for an upgrade in the new year, the entire system is probably for the trash anyway (bar the hard drive).

    It's not going to be compatible with any of the recent CPU's. LGA775 is long gone, I'm highly doubtful if that board even supports Core2Quad.

    If you answer all the questions here, we'll tell you what to buy :)
