I'd like to upgrade my PC from the Core 2 Duo processor it currently has to a quad-core.  Can't find any reference materials or service manuals.  Any help would be appreciated.

Found the Manual on a 3rd party site:

T9600 is going to be the top of the mark. Quad Cores not supported.

Huffer, 

 

Thanks so much for your reply!  I'm just wondering why the processor currently installed isn't listed in that manual (or if BIOS updates made after that manual was printed enabled more processors) but I currently have the P8400 installed.
