Changing CPU on a HP 500B MT

[vmelkon]

Hello,

Unfortunately, HP doesn't document their motherboards.

It is printed H-IG41-uATX REV 1.1 on the motherboard.

I assume the CPU socket is a LGA 775.

The CPU right now is a Core 2 Duo E7500 aka Wolfdale, L2 = 3 MB, 1066 MHz FSB, 2.93 GHz.

Does this support Core2 Quad?

Take a look here.

"Upgrade Chance" is a probability of a successful processor upgrade/downgrade from the Core 2 Duo E7500 (original CPU) to a specific model.

Hi:

Here is a link to the spec sheet for your PC.

Looks like one Core2 Quad processor is supported (Q8300).
