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/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22675105 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 17:06:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22675025 said by BA:

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/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22675025 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:50:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22651529 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22651529 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:01:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22651492
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/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22651492 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:51:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22651415
Thanks BA for the reply]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22651415 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:28:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22651329 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-compatability-for-cpu-22651329 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:07:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/compatability-for-cpu-22651076
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!
