Looks like quite a few CPU's could be used

If you already have any of the 84 watt then you can upgrade to any better ones.

If you currently have the 53 watt then you MAY **need a better CPU cooler when upgrading to the 84 watt.  You may also need a bios update for the GT2 CPUs

 

 

**Possibly the existing CPU fan speed could be raised up in the bios
