Right above the DirectX 10 Support module is the CPU slot. If you want to physically see what it is without turning it on (make sure to ground yourself before dealing with the mobo components). If you want to know what it is while it's on, just go to System Properties at the Computer page in Windows (assuming it's not Windows 8, which will require a bit more work).

Also, I don't think the LX and LX2s are vastly different (I'd have to check a little closer). Are you planning on gaming on either of these?


Hey CGI thanks for the reply. I realise now that the fan was in the way (it sits right on top of it) :P I removed the fan but there's some thermal paste or something covering the top of the CPU so I can't read anything off it. I flipped it out but there's nothing on the underside either. Guess I'll have to plug them in?

Neither of the PC's have an OS installed actually they were used as printing servers. I'm weighing up the cost of buying a windows (7!) licence and some other components (maybe a cheap graphics card to play lol) or just getting a new PC with everything on it. It's really just a cheap computer for general use, gaming isn't a priority at all. 

Also, I only need one of the computers so I can take the ram from one and add it to the other right?
