CPU upgrade?
I'd like to upgrade my CPU to something with a faster FSB. I'm currently using Pentium D 930 3.0Ghz (800FSB). The following is a link with my current motherboard specs:
Motherboard Specifications, P5LP-LE (Emery) HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7367c Desktop PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
It says that it supports a 1066 FSB but doesn't hint at what or which CPU's. My guess is that some of the early Core 2's with the 1066 FSB would likely work considering they're re-branded/boxed Pentium D's essentially. Anyone know of anyone having gone this route?
You'll notice on the HP site to my motherboard there is no mention of the current CPU I'm running which came with the computer when I purchased it from Fry's. It only makes mention of the following two:
- Pentium D 800 series Smithfield core up to 3.2 GHz
- Pentium 4 Prescott core up to 580 and 670
