Other questions:
1. What type of monitor do you have:
2. How small is this room?
3. Does the room have a ceiling fan or something to move air to help cool things?
Thanks. I have two 24" monitors connecting to my computer using DVI cables. I do have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The room is about 15' x 15'. It does have windows, but we turn our alarm system on every night and my dad doesn't want to have to bypass the window every time he turns the alarm system on. That's why I can't use a portable AC. We do have central AC but my room gets much hotter than any other room in the house so it's kind of wasting money to cool the whole house just because my room is hot. I did just purchase an ultra-darkening "drapery" to cover the west-facing window so hopefully that helps a little.

With an AMD APU, you eliminate both your current CPU and GPU and replace them with the APU. The APU will draw much less power than the current CPU+GPU combination, which means it will also throw off much less heat.
I'm not skilled enough to replace the motherboard which I think would be necessary to change the chipset. I'll definitely look into that though.
