But that's not compatible with my current processor, if I understand correctly. Is that the case? 
From my (limited) research I can't very easily upgrade my CPU. That requires a whole new motherboard and, at that point I might as well toss this box and get a whole new one. Am I understanding that right?

Thanks for helpin' me out. I'm just trying to understand this whole hardware business.
