I am looking for the best and the max configuration processor that supports my Pavilion dv6500 notebook. I reasearched online and found that my laptop's chipset supported a very few extreme series processors and those were with the highest clock speeds and largest L2 cache memory my laptop could support. But I don't know for sure whether those extreme series processors are supported by my laptop's BIOS. Could you give the list of core 2 extreme series processors supported by my laptop.
Chipset : Intel GM965 Express Chipset
BIOS : Version F.22

Look at page 21.
But take a look at this link:
