Hello,
I have an older HP computer (a1230n) with an a8ae-le motherboard. It is currently running windows 7 (x64) and has its stock AMD 64 3700+ single core processor. I am considering an upgrade to a AMD 64 X2 dual core processor. I know this is possible, however the HP website only lists the x2 4800+ as the supported dual core unit. I have found a x2 4200+ unit on eBay for a very decent price. As long as the socket is the same, I should be able to drop the processor in and run it with no issues pertaining to the clock speed, correct?
Thanks for any help/advice!
