Hi all,

 

Long story short: Upgraded fro Celeron 900 to T6600 successfully, even if that CPU is not in the service manual. Working great, performance is really good now. Now, I didn't update the bios, which is F.15 right now, I know the latest one is F.37 I think,  my question is Can I upgrade to a 9400? Is this board a GL45 Chipset or GL40, I'm using linux and I see this:

 

  Intel GM45 Chipset on the output of the kernel. My mainboard has this numbers printed on it:

 

    DAAX3MB16A1

    REV: A

 

I was wondering because my idea is put a 9400 but that is a 1066 fsb cpu, and looking all over the threads here in HP Support I see no answer, so that is my question(s):

 

1. Can I go up to 9300 with this bios

2. Can I go up to 9400 with the same bios/chipset (GL40? GL45?) I'm confused because linux detect this as GL45 which supports 1066 cpus

3. Do I need to update the BIOS to put the T9300?

 

Thank you, have an excellent day.
