I removed the black text from the mobo description UK. Most of us use us the black BBS theme and that makes black text disappear. Actually since you never know what theme someone is using, you should avoid color text and let the BBS use the default.

ANYWAY since that's an HP/Compaq OEM mobo you have to look up the specs on HP's website. Here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu ... c=en&cc=us

Specs SEEM to imply it can take a Pentium D 9x CPU, but not sure (I am assuming that "Pentium D 9x00" implies all 900 series CPUs).

But the EE CPU is an "Extreme Edition" CPU. Not sure if an OEM mobo is going to handle that. Even if it does you may need to update the BIOS.

No guarantees unless you google around and find a post by someone who has that CPU and mobo who claims he got it working.

Me personally I wouldn't even try upgrading an OEM mobo. They tend not to like CPU upgrades.

Okay, looks like there's multiple versions of your mobo (same model, different code name). If you have this one the answer is a definite no:

I really wouldn't try. OEM mobo CPU upgrades are a minefield. Save up some money for a new mobo.

In my experience, ALL HP/Compaq PCs do not take well to any processor other than one of the same model that it came with. I've tried several times in the past to upgrade the CPUs for them and never been able to get them to post..

Hey FP, check the pictures of both those boards there. If you look at the bottem of where it shows the revision, they are both the same.

It is hard to have any sure answer, as I found another link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/gene ... =c00379422

This is a completely different board, an older revision, which doesn't support anything newer.

If your board does support processors as the one link provided, a Core 2 Duo might just be a better choice for you.

I've never had issues with switching out supported processors with another. Likely though, you tend to need to update the BIOS first.
When all else fails, replace the user.
