brother wants to upgrade his current pc, and i'm thinking updating his 1600+ to a 2500+, moving to 1 gig of ram, and then getting a G4ti4600/9600pro to replace his radeon 9000...that should tide him for a much longer time

but can i toss a 2500+ in there? doesn't matter to me if it sees it as an "unknown cpu" so as long as it works.
