Hi,

Sorry, may I repeat: what is your machine ? Please check its label at the back or around the case. Without knowing what is your machine, we can't answer your question.

May be it is an Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc7900 ?

Regards.

Access:   http://support.hp.com

and do a search based on the model-number of your computer.

You need to find out what CPUs are supported by the motherboard inside your computer.

Given that the motherboard uses DDR2 RAM, not DDR3 RAM, it's quite old (as computers go), and may only have a limited choice of upgrade CPUs.

Yes it is a Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc7900
