Hello, I have a hp pavilion p6210y. I took it in to see what was wrong. the computer tech told me it was the motherboard. Said not to replace it with original one because they are known to do this and it would cost around 200 to replace it. Well I bought a m2n78-la on ebay not knowing it was a earlier addition and didn't support the newer cpu I had in mine. It gave me an error mess. unsupported cpu and shuts down. So after a lot of looking around and a very tight budget. I am looking at replacing http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01635734&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=4006020 with a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157274. Its the only one I could find and might also get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161484 2 of these. Will it fit my pc now with the same holes to put it in place and work with my components? If not can I get that older but same motherboard to read newer cpu?
