Hey guys I was wondering if my PC which has a core 2 duo, LGA 755 would support a core 2 quad or extreme same socket but I tried on my laptop and it wouldn't boot so I'm trying it on my shop PC for some better performance
Laptop motherboards use different sockets than the ones on desktop motherboards, so they won't be compatible with desktop chips. But since your Core 2 Duo desktop uses the same LGA 775 socket, the Core 2 Quad should work with your desktop.

also with laptops there voltage limits that the cpu must be under and also bios issue. when upgrading laptop you have to check with the vendor to see if they have faster cpu for that model unit.
