computers like dell, hp, compaq, e-machines,etc have some parts hardcoded on serial number so you cant change processors without flashing it. and they dont have the jumper capability 90% of the time so flashing it wont do any good. I'd stick with built piece by piece computers since they have a selection of processors to use for different motherboards. The newer motherboards have more support modules on it and have thicker pipelines to feed from so they process a bit more cleaner anyways.
