Cpu upgrade

[Fiki]

Hello,

I have a convertible minitower dc 7900 with a core 2 duo e7400 cpu.

I wanted to upgrade my cpu to a core 2 quad.

My motherboard i Hewlett-Packard 3032h and i was wondering can my motherboard handle a core 2 quad cpu?

I have a  q45/q43 chipset and i saw that most of the core 2 quad processor have a chipset q45, but i saw some videos in which the cpu had the right chipset but still didnt work.

I hope that you have a answer to my question.

Hi:

Below is the link to the quickspecs for your model PC.

The supported processors can be found on page 9.
