So, I finally decided to upgrade my ex485, but can't find a e5200.

What's the next best modern day CPU that I can buy from Newegg that will give me as painless of an upgrade as possible? I'm totally comfortable disassembling, installing, flashing, etc.

Need for upgrade? Running PS3 Media Server and Air Sharing on it. Need some more power.

Thanks!

I just ordered an E5200 from OutletPC for less than $80. It is a boxed CPU and the stepping is M0 so this should just be a drop-in replacement without the need of the BIOS upgrade. I will post again once I receive the CPU to confirm its spec.

I just received the CPU and it is brand new in a retail box. Unfortunately, the S-spec is SLB9T so it will not be a straight forward drop-in replacement. I do plan to perform the upgrade in November when the warranty on my EX485 expires.
