The HP specs do not include the Wolfdale core that you have picked out on Newegg.
Socket: 775 Supports the following processors: Intel Core Duo E6x00 with Dual Core technology (Conroe core) Pentium D 9x0 series Dual Core (Presler) Pentium D 8xx series (Smithfield) Pentium 4 6x1 series (Cedar Mill core) Pentium 4 6xx series (Prescott core) Pentium 4 5xx series (Prescott core) Pentium 4 LGA-775 HT (Prescott core) The fastest Prescott I could find is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...6-099-_-Product You may also want to check your amount of memory and your free space on your hard drive. I will caution you that it is not guaranteed that your board will support every 5xx series Prescott core Pentium 4 processor. You may need to upgrade your bios on your motherboard before trying the installation of any other processor than what came with your HP computer. Hope this helps, -------------------- Techextreme

Well, I found a BIOS update for it, but it still doesn't list additional CPU support. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...4173&os=228
EDIT: I found this: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22212 This post has been edited by dpunisher: Nov 16 2009, 08:51 PM |

The processors listed on the HP site stating what processors are supported should work in your computer. Yes.
