I've had a motherboard from this computer (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...portFAQ&prodSeriesId=3942799&prodTypeId=12454) for a while. The CPU is dead, and I am thinking about buying a new CPU and putting a decent machine together.
I want to buy this CPU (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AMD+-+P...logy/1004922.p?id=1218207309242&skuId=1004922).
Will that CPU work on this motherboard? Or do I need to get a new motherboard, too? I'd rather use the one I have. I'm asking because I know I can't return the CPU once I've opened the box and installed it.
On the processor upgrade section, it doesn't say it supports anything above a Quad Core, but the Six core hadn't been invented at the time that machine was released, so I'm hoping....
TIA.
