Hi i want to upgrade my PC so i can put in DDR3 ram memory - DDR 2 is harder to get, well more expensive to be honest.
Current Spec;

CPU
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33GHz 52 °C

4.00 GB Single-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (6-5-5-17)
Motherboard
Packard Bell BV MCP73PVT-PM (CPU 1) 24 °C
Graphics
V223HQV (1920x1080@60Hz)
nVidia video (Elitegroup)

Im wondering can i not just upgrade my CPU and ram memory only? to DDR3 and maybe 6 core?
Or will i need a complete new motherbaord? Aint had an upgrade in years so dont know where to start - any recommendations/advice?
Thanks in advance
