So I bought an HP dc5850 a while back from
http://goo.gl/331i2r

It has a crappy single core processor (AMD Sempron LE-1300 2.3GHz)

I would like to upgrade it to a quad core processor -

Would it be safe to purchase a AMD Phenom X4 9750

The manual said it is compatible with the AMD Phenom X4 9750B processor. Will it work?

Manual is at http://goo.gl/mxn4iG

Sure, if it says it is compatible it should be compatible. Although with the amount of RAM and HDD space and stuff it would be kind of a worthless upgrade unless you upgraded the other stuff as well.

No worries, I upgraded the graphics and ram a while back and the HDD space was much bigger than advertised.

Alright, thanks!

Would I need to upgrade the BIOS or will it work with the preloaded one?
