compatability for cpu in Computer Hardware Discussion/Reviews http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22651076 en Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:54:34 EDT Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:54:34 EDT Re: compatability for cpu http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22675105 hurfy : I think (sorry not digging out cd with pdf manual) the ones we have with that processor only went up to a 3.2 P4 or something, so nothing worthwhile. Your manual link seems to say the same upto P4 3.4 :(

Hmm, hitting the driver link shows a BIOS that says updated to support newer processors but doesn't say which. Possible it will take a Pentium duo of some sort. Generally haven't had much luck lately updating a CPU, the change just is not enough to justify the cost and hassle (and a bios upgrade in this case)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22675105 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 17:06:54 EDT Re: compatability for cpu http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22675025 kw :

No way to tell for sure because it's a pre-built using a custom board from HP.
Custom boards usually use similar prototypes to retail boards.

More info on the board would help us determine what you can and cannot put into the machine. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22675025 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:50:32 EDT Re: compatability for cpu http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651529 Amoris692001 : Thanks a lot. I will just stick with the memory upgrade.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651529 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:01:33 EDT Re: compatability for cpu http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651492 BA : No way to tell for sure because it's a pre-built using a custom board from HP.

If you're looking for a meaningful upgrade, you'll need to replace the motherboard. For instance, a G31 board and an E5200 would be around $100.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651492 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:51:33 EDT Re: compatability for cpu http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651415 Amoris692001 : What is the most advanded CPU that I can put in? I guess something that came out 2-3 years ago that is not dual core?

Thanks BA for the reply]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651415 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:28:26 EDT Re: compatability for cpu http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651329 BA : Unfortunately, the motherboard chipset for that Pavilion is too old to support any current Intel processor.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651329 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:07:50 EDT compatability for cpu http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651076 Amoris692001 : Hey guys,

My uncle has a 2005 HP Pavilion a1020n. I took a screenshot of his CPU info.

I am upgrading his memory to 2GB from 512mb but my real question is can I upgrade is CPU as well?

The only processors I see out there now, that fit his socket 775 LGA, are dual core processors. The hp website says that the FSB of the motherboard is 800, so not a problem. But will it work?

I want to know before I buy any processors.

Thanks ahead!
